  • Important information

    We’ll accept walk-ups if we have availability.

    The content and length of the tour means it’s not suitable for children younger than 11 with those under 16 needing to be accompanied by an adult.

    Volunteer availability sometimes means we have to cancel or rearrange our tours at short notice.

    Arrive at the meeting point a few minutes before the tour is scheduled to begin.

    There are 12 spots on each tour, with spaces being first come, first served.

Getting to the meeting point

To get to the meeting point by Guy the gorilla enter Hintze Hall on the ground floor then go up the main staircase. Turn right at the statue of Darwin and continue up the stairs. When you reach the top, Guy the gorilla will be in front of you.

If using the lift, take the lift from the ground floor of Hintze Hall to the first floor of Hintze Hall. As you exit the lift head straight out onto the balcony then turn right and go to the end of the balcony, the meeting point will be straight ahead
