Inside, children can observe animals like meerkats, golden lion tamarins, naked mole-rats, and sugar gliders up close. The exhibits are designed with large viewing windows and naturalistic habitats, allowing young visitors to get a clear and engaging look at how these animals behave, eat, and interact. There’s an air of constant activity, making it especially appealing for kids who love to see animals on the move.

The space is stroller-friendly and well-lit, offering a comfortable atmosphere for families. Whether watching otters play or spotting elusive rodents, the Small Mammal House provides a lively, curiosity-sparking visit that blends discovery and delight in equal measure.
