Discovery Forest is a 4,500-square-foot tropical rainforest housed in a unique, two-story circular atrium as part of the Harold C. Schott Education Center that opened in 1996. Discovery Forest is designed to engage guests in a multi-sensory exploration of the world of plants and their importance. The setting is a tropical Latin American rainforest, incorporating interpretive elements from throughout Central and South America. In 2006, several neotropical animals like a two-toed sloth, a blue-and-gold macaw, and boa constrictors were added to emphasize the relationship between plants and animals.
