I've only seen the dinosaurs once since they were restored (there was an adorable fox cub playing in their midst, much to the delight of the child I was accompanying). When I was a kid they were overgrown and visiting them felt like a real adventure to me even though I was used to the countryside. I also love the Crystal Palace transmitter, which features in many fine South London views, and the statue of Guy the Gorilla. ALL the children I knew had been photographed with Guy the Gorilla, usually sitting between his forearms!

Oh, and my favourite prehistoric animal when I was a kid was not dissimilar in shape to your glyptodon:
