There is a lot of thick green vegetation inside the biodome. Birds fly over our heads. Birds fly over our heads. Animals move quietly through the bushes and branches. It feels alive because it is.
Visitors can spot purple starlings, panther chameleons that shift colours, and even flying foxes gliding across the space. It’s not a display behind glass. It’s a shared environment.
Learning That Doesn’t Feel Like School
The Earth Day programme has eco-games, seed planting sessions, and talks that animal experts from the company lead. Kids can ask questions, join in on activities, and even win small prizes.
The focus stays simple. How ecosystems work. Why biodiversity matters. What small actions can help protect the planet?
According to the press release, the goal is to get people to adopt simple habits that help the environment without making them feel like they have to do a lot.
Get to Know the Rainforest Stars
Families can meet the “Friends of the Rainforest” mascots, which include a fun gorilla and a tiger that stand for different ecosystems. It adds a fun layer, especially for younger visitors who can relate to the characters more easily.
And then there are the real stars: sloths, reptiles, birds each offering a closer look at how diverse rainforest life can be.
