EPISODE 140

One of the most talked about zoo exhibits in the world has finally made its way on Zoo Tours. Tropic World at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo opened in phases from 1982, 83, and 84 - claiming the title as the world's first simulated indoor rainforest in a zoo, and the largest zoo building in the world! The attraction is made up of three colossal rooms representing South America, Asia, and Africa, boasting 50 foot waterfalls, 35 foot tall trees and sights you really have to see in person to believe it. However, it's size has been outweighed by its now infamous reputation - Tropic World has shown its outdated age for decades, prompting critics to dub the building as 'Tragic World'. There are still many out there that say the positives outweigh the negatives and the criticisms are exaggerated. So please enjoy this presentation of one of the world's most sensational zoo exhibits.
