There is an orchid nursery were you may see local orchids including some introduced species. Orchids are the most beautiful flowering plants in the world. Here you can appreciate their extraordinary beauty.

The snake exhibit gives the opportunity of seeing live snakes from a short distance behind the safety of our terrariums. In this exhibit you also will receive interesting information about how to recognize poisonous snakes, what they feed on and some of their habits.

There is a nursery where an expert in butterflies explains the complete life cycle from egg, caterpillar to the final stage of becoming a butterfly. The exhibit has a laboratory where it grows/quarantines the caterpillars and some cocoons.
