New Rainforest Falls Exhibit at the Buffalo Zoo
The new M&T Bank Rainforest Falls exhibit opened at the Buffalo Zoo on September 10th, 2008. The $16 million fully-enclosed Rainforest Falls is designed to be an experience unlike any other in Western New York. Modeled after the tepui (or flat-topped mountain) region of Venezuela, the exhibit houses a variety of species native to South America. Guests can enjoy an interactive visitor’s center before entering the exhibit where they will spot dozens of free-flighted birds, monkeys, piranha and even a giant anaconda before being awed by a cascading replica of Angel Falls in the center of it all that plunges 25 feet.
