The pool is a nice addition to this exhibit (it was added in 2016) but the cost of $1.8 million is a little startling. Nothing is cheap these days! Also, is that the filtration system in the background? The apparatus certainly adds nothing to the scenery and in fact is a blatant eyesore.
Yes that is all for the pool, I believe that they are going to place some trees in between that will just take some time to grow and hide it. They had to remove quite a few just to put it in.
