have been waiting to visit from the day it was on the news all those years ago.
I did mention the fateful words 'looks a little small' when looking down from the entrance but it is not, the Biomes are huge. Although I visited in April there was still a lot outside that was in bloom and the Tropical Biome is just phenomenal. You are blown away my the heat and humidity when you go in.
The smells of the food being prepared add to the experience, the Mediterranean Biome has the aroma of paella that is being prepared...
