The largest indoor desert and glazed geodesic dome in the world. Definitely one of the highlights of the zoo and can't be passed up as this is an incredible experience.

The scenery is cool neat but there aren't many animals and they can be hard to spot. Go here only if you have extra time.

Keep your eyes out because the animals here can be hard to spot.

Underneath is the Kingdom of the Nights. Best place in the whole zoo !! Look for the albino Alligator !!

Brian Wetjen

You can actually go in here to cool off on a hit day. Air conditioned !

Hands down this is the coolest exhibit in the zoo. Very cool environments to walk through like the wet cave and swamp. The bats can get stinky. Try to touch the glass of the snake crates in the swamp. - Erik Rowley

This is the best zoo in the country. I haven't been in quite a few years, and they have made incredible improvements to what was already pretty amazing. - Asten R
