Great educational experience. I loved learning about the different animals and their environment. Definitely will be back. I recommend buying the pass to see all of the attractions including this, the planetarium and others. It’s worth it and you save money!

Quite an unique experience. One can see animals from close and birds flying over. It’s divided in four different sections. My personal favourite is Tropical rain forest!!! If you are a nature and wildlife lover, you will love this place.
