About

Pyramid-shaped structure housing rainforest plants and animals roaming freely, as well as sloths and monkeys, plus a waterfall.

The Rainforest Pyramid features various water bodies such as streams, waterfalls, and ponds that serve as habitats for its aquatic and semi-aquatic animal residents, including fish and alligators. These are integral parts of the animal enclosures, not recreational pools for human use, and specific public-facing temperature information for these animal habitats is not provided. The water conditions are maintained to suit the diverse needs of the resident wildlife.

This was a nice experience. Not a 5 because it wasn’t anything we havent experienced before. Reminded me of many of the Greenhouses and aquariums across America. Neat birds, monkeys, fish. Plant life was beautiful and the entire place was well maintained. Some exhibit areas were empty and did not have any animals in them. The 4 star rating is based on empty exhibits, and accessibility. Some Spaces would definitely be hard to navigate with a wheelchair. However there is nothing for visually impaired. It was extremely dark for some exhibits but no braille markers or anything that could help “see” the exhibit. I had a very very difficult time seeing any of the animals.

Really awesome place to go. We had a good time going to this pyramid and the aquarium.. probably both were the best they could be compared to anybody else's versions. Not too pricey too. But if you are going to go buy tickets the day before and you'll save yourself about $20. You can't buy online tickets the same day and you will miss that deal. There were monkeys and all types of birds and animals just running around free in there and it was pretty cool!

My family loved this place it was perfect. The animals the whole place seemed amazing. Not like at a zoo where the animals look terrible or sad.
