The indoor rainforest here is very tiny, but also quite enjoyable. There are birds, sloths and if I remember correctly some marmosets or tamarins jumping around as well.
 
Here's what's in here currently
Cane toad
Blue and gold macaw
Boa constrictor
Linnaeus's two-toed sloth
 
It's more of an educational greenhouse than an animal exhibit. There are many species of plants from the Amazon region within the building. There are signs for all of the plants in the building and an interactive scavenger hunt that teaches children, or who ever chooses to take part, about the rainforest, its plants, and their importance. This building also holds the classrooms for the Zoo Academy and the summer day camps.

Thanks for explaining:). Makes more sense now.

Yes, it's really an Education Building with a small public "rain forest plants" display.
