Nothing to Declare at ZSL London Zoo

London Zoo's half-term activities focus on poaching and wildlife-smuggling at a time when there is an unprecedented rise in such criminal activity. You and your nippers get a passport stamped at the Arrivals Gate, before being confronted with an ethical dilemma: what should you buy from the beachfront shopkeeper? Then its poacher-turns-gamekeeper, with high-vis vests and a chance to security search some very dodgy suitcases at Customs Control. Finally, at Keeper HQ, the children become zoo keepers, examining bags of illegal items and checking the ID of smuggled creatures. There will also be an exhibition of items – from medicines to jewellery – seized from the illegal trade in wildlife.
