Rainforests are important to Earth's climate and are favorite habitats for frogs. However, frog populations are rapidly declining, and Earth's climate is undergoing dramatic change. Forest burning also threatens habitats in the Amazon rainforest. Your Rainforest Explorers will visit a field research tent and try on climbing gear. Their journey takes them to the tree canopy where they will cross a bridge to the canopy raft. Hiding in a blind, visitors observe and identify a variety of tree frogs. Adding a leaf specimen and jaguar footprint to their field journals, the visitors will continue their data collection at the weather station. Maps and compasses round out the many activities in this very engaging and immersive exhibit. Rainforest Explorers is approximately 1,200 square feet.

Ocean acidification has been described as potentially the greatest environmental threat we face, yet very few people have even heard of it. The oceans have experienced a 30% increase in acidity in recent years. We're already seeing the impacts far and wide: it's changing fish behavior, making them more vulnerable to predation; it's harming coral reefs, the most biologically diverse areas of the sea; it's upsetting the ecological balance of the seas, and the world's oceans are rapidly becoming even more acidic. Visitors learn about acidification at live-action and computer animated video stations as well as several activity stations. The exhibit is approximately 1,500 square feet.
