Open minds to the greener side of life

Images morph one into the next on a large, rotating leaflike form. This multimedia orientation experience opens visitors' eyes to a stunning yet subtle fact: the shapes and behaviors of plants are adaptations that have evolved over millennia in concert with conditions of water and light. Plants are actually doing something; they're adapting to their environment.

Opened in 2003

The Glass House this introduces contains two biomes: a Madagascar Spiny Desert and a Costa Rican Cloud Forest.

An image from the Madagascar Spiny Desert. Research has shown that visitors who view the orientation not only enjoy the show but also seek out more detail among the living plants and learn far more about these biomes than visitors who forgo the orientation experience.

Imagine -- an orientation that actually delivers an enhanced experience.
