Your senses will marvel at the sights and sounds of the rain forest as you stroll through our tropical display garden and endangered species refuge. Lush tropical plants line meandering paths that lead past ponds filled with gold and orange koi fish .

The zoo features the world's smallest monkeys (only 4" when fully grown), brightly coloured tropical birds, giant bats, leaping lemurs, rare tortoises, poison arrow frogs and many other unusual animals. Be sure to visit the free-flying butterfly gallery, open year round and filled with dozens of butterflies of all sizes, shapes and colours.
