View of the 'Cattle House'

Taken 12th August 2015
With Hartmann\'s Mountain Zebras (enclosure in the foreground) and Cape Buffalo (enclosure in the background) and Warthogs around the corner (not in the picture).

Question please:-

On all my early visits to Antwerp Zoo it was possible to go inside the Cattle House; unfortunately, on my last three or four visits, the interior of this building was closed to the public.

Is that still the case or are visitors now allowed inside again?

Visitors were not allowed inside on my visit.

The same was true with the 'Egyptian Temple' on my visit, though I believe that was only temporary for some refurbishments.

Thanks for answering my question.

I recall that inside the Cattle House was a memorial to L’Hoest, a previous director of Antwerp Zoo, after whom the monkey species was named.

You pre-empted my question about the Egyptian Temple too; I remember that inside that building is the skeleton of the Asiatic elephant “Jacqueline” who died in the zoo in the late 1800s.
