Botany
The Paludarium
← All Exhibits
A paludarium is part aquarium, part terrarium: water below and land above, like a tiny rainforest riverbank.
Mosses, ferns, and bromeliads grow on the rocks and wood, fed by moisture rising from the water. Plants, water, and small creatures together make a little ecosystem you can watch.
This looks even more fun with the mist on.
