Tropical House

That is quite an entrance! It looks reminiscent of something one would see at Oceanografic Valencia...or even the Sydney Opera House. :)
 
Yeah, it's a really cool building. It pretty much functions as a reptile house, but has plants and decorations inside and some open-topped pools for large fish and crocodilians rather than a typical reptile house with rows of terrariums.
There are a few small mammals in there too such as a Pygmy Slow Loris, and free-roaming Golden Lion Tamarins.
 
One (not so fun) fact about the building: On the other side of the building is something what supposed to be outdoor exhibit for Crocodiles (nothing special, just small beach and pool), but then they realised that the roof is made from copper which makes the water poisonous whenever it´s raining.
