In the enchanted Hu木an, which means forest in Malay, wiggle your fingers and toes through textured leaves, smell the flowers, and play hide-and-seek with Hornbill.
Spot Owl under the moonlight and help Kingfisher look after her eggs. Even passing rain brings cheeky Gibbons with a tropical fruit picnic for their new friends.
Inspired by some of the works in Tails from the Coasts, Hu木an is a multisensory, inclusive adventure for children with access needs and their friends.
