Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Experience the animal kingdom like never before. The Robot Zoo, presented by White Spot Restaurants, explores the extraordinary engineering and biomechanics behind some of nature's most fascinating creatures through larger-than-life animatronics.
Each of the eight robotic animal has been carefully engineered to mimic real animal behaviour such as a platypus swimming the breaststroke, a squid hunting a struggling fish, or a grasshopper jumping with explosive power. Using repurposed household and industrial materials, visitors of all ages can see complex biomechanics in action: muscles become pistons, intestines become filtering pipes, while brains become computers.
By transforming biological systems into familiar mechanical components, The Robot Zoo demonstrates the remarkable engineering found throughout the natural world.
Engage Your Inner Animal
Check out more than a dozen interactive exhibits that reveal how animal bodies function, including:
- Swat the Fly – Put your reaction time to the test. Will you react faster than a fly?
- Tongue Gun – Control an arcade-inspired chameleon head to hit buzzy prey with its tongue—try to have just as much speed and precision!
- Sticky Feet – Learn how flies have a Spiderman-like ability to walk on walls.
- Jet Propelled – Race three friends via a carnival-style pumping game to discover how giant squids propel themselves.
Designed for visitors of all ages.
