Only facilities we’ve confirmed are listed — anything missing here we simply haven’t checked, rather than know to be absent.
Walk through heated indoor glasshouses containing over 850 types of plants and animals, including rare and endangered species. Free-roaming birds flutter around your feet and through the undergrowth — look out for colourful toucans, yellow-knobbed Curassows and other species — while you spot sloths, caimans, armadillos, frogs, snakes, fish, stingrays and tortoises in tanks and glass enclosures. There's a small play area and garden outside, quiz sheets and activity booklets to work through as you explore, and a café and gift shop. Most visitors spend between one and a half to two hours here.
