- Indoor Waterfall: The Cloud Forest houses one of the largest indoor waterfalls in the world. The 35 meter tall waterfall in addition to the regular misting of the conservatory makes for a cozy ambience.
- Extraterrestrial Vibes: The conservatory is decked out with special props and lighting in honour of the Avatar: The Experience exhibition. If you love the Avatar movies, you'll definitely enjoy walking through the Cloud Forest and experiencing Pandora on earth.
- Unusual Flora: Sure, the ambience is amazing, but the star of the show is the sea of unique species that call the Cloud Forest its home. Carnivorous Venus Flytraps and epiphytes are among the many plants to see that you would usually find on remote mountains in obscure geographies. Make your life easier and see them all (and more!) at the Cloud Forest.
