Craziest exhibit ideas?

[Tapirus Lar]

What are the craziest ideas for an exhibit you can think of?
For me, well several zoos have indoor rainforests with simulated thunderstorms, and considering there are also a few indoor desert exhibits, what about an indoor desert with simulated dust storms?

Walkthrough mosquito exhibit. Arbovirus transmission included on demand. (Fake) Mosquito spray available in the zoo gift shop.

My do mosquitoes when you could a walk-through army ant or bullet ant exhibit? More interesting inhabitants.

[Nile Hippo Expert]

A 1,000 acre exhibit for a single protozoan.

Immersive underwater tunnel through an alligator habitat, where you have to actually wade through knee-deep water.

Crawl through tunnel enclosure filled with arachnids. If you wanna make a whole crazy exhibit based on fears, then this one is pure terror!!!

Deep sea exhibit actually at abyssal depths?

 

[PossumRoach]

An alley of cat exhibits but before you enter the alley you go through misters. However these misters contain a high concentration of Calvin Klein’s Obsession.

How about the opposite? A Himalayan exhibit, but at the peak of Mount Everest.

What about an arctic house at -20 and simulated blizzards?

What about an aquarium which you walk through an upscaled tide pool exhibit and have to face the oncoming waves to view every species

What about a hippo exhibit but without any barriers between guests and the hippo’s.

What about a hippo exhibit but without any barriers between guests and the hippo’s.

I expect that such a thing would result in guests being mauled by the hippos.

an exhibit where the animals are replaced by sculptures or models

That honestly just sounds like murder.

Kinda crazy but feasible idea. A supersized version of Naples Zoo Lake Victoria.
This would have to be in a tropical Central or South American location (probably Brazil).
A zoo that has a 100-200 acre lake dotted with islands. The lake could contain amazon manatees and pink river dolphins. Islands mostly with primates but could be set up to attract bird colonies . Perhaps some sort of glass barrier to keep other critters on the islands like sloths, anteaters etc
Some sort of boat or maybe motorized canoe ride to tour the islands and search for manatees and dolphins.

My craziest idea - converting some facility's old beluga whale exhibit, should they be disallowed from having them, into an exhibit for Greenland sharks. I can think of at least one facility (Vancouver Aquarium) that legally had no choice but to move away from whales and ultimately converted their beluga exhibit into one for Steller's sea lions (a perfectly good, and far easier/more viable concept). If that happens elsewhere, it would be cool as hell to see someone try for a shark route instead.

I'm surprised Gatorland hasn't done this with alligators.
