Cleveland Metroparks Rainforest part 3 of 6. Paul Bodnar November 2024

The RainForest showcases more than 10,000 plants and over 600 animals from the jungles of Asia, Africa and the Americas. This unique two-acre, two-level habitat is one of the largest of its kind in the country.
More than 50 specimens of 15 different bird species fly freely overhead in The RainForest’s free-flight, indoor aviary. Hang out with the two-toed sloths and make sure to visit the troop of Bornean orangutans.
The RainForest's naturalistic settings include a 25-foot waterfall, a research hut, the Discovery Center, a tropical rainstorm exhibit with thunder and lightning effects, a weather station and other interactive exhibits.
