The story of this splendid and beautiful addition to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland is as full of fascinating facts as the house itself is full of plants and animals! It will be a wonderful new educational resource for the park and children will learn about the rainforest and the rate of it's destruction - 100 acres a minute. The tropical House - a 90 x 56 ft greenhouse - was formally at Windsor Safari park and was brought here and reconstructed - an amazing feat. This also represented a tremendous saving on previous plans for a totally new glasshouse. Environmentally the new tropical house is a demonstration of how rainwater can be collected and used for watering as a system of sixteen 400 gallon water tanks have been placed down one side.
