Exhibits
The 1.5-acre (0.61 ha) zoo consists of two major areas, an indoor covered rainforest and outdoor geographic areas, each divided into areas corresponding to the geographical groupings of the animals.
The indoor rainforest houses the collection of Australasian animals and those from South and Central America. It has a large stream running in a circular path throughout the exhibit, with two waterfalls and two large ponds.
The exterior has two main areas, one devoted to the fauna of Madagascar, and the other to animals from South-East Asia.

Famous quotes containing the word exhibits:
“After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
