We loved the Biodome. My daughter is studying Biology at University and was very impressed with the 4 different eco-systems. She loved all the animals and birds and was especially impressed by the English presentation by a biologist about biodiversity in the auditorium More

The Biodome houses 4 different ecosystems in a sort-of kind of zoo-like atmosphere. The rainforest exhibit is really fun and realistic as the animals are very accessible and it feels less like a zoo and more like you're walking through a rainforest.

I actually had more fun with the girls as they had to fill out a leaflet with all the birds they got to see in the 4 eco-systems which made it really interactive.... More
