200 years of Alfred Russel Wallace: A celebration

Alfred Russel Wallace, who was born in Wales 200 years ago and became one of the greatest naturalists ever, is probably a name you have never heard of.

Wallace visited the world’s rainforests during the Golden Age of exploration and discovery, working alongside his more well-known colleague, Charles Darwin, to create the concepts of Natural Selection and Evolution. We’ve all heard of Darwin, so why are most people unfamiliar with Wallace?

Discover more in the brand-new treehouse display area at Plantasia Tropical Zoo. It has been beautifully turned into a recreation of Alfred Russel Wallace’s study hut in the Malay Archipelago’s rainforest, where you can learn about his amazing stories and findings and even take on the role of your own intrepid explorer. Which hat will you don?

The cost of regular entry includes free entrance to this spectacular exhibition space, which was created in partnership with Museum Wales.
