Hidden Amazon

Meet the animals that live in the Amazon by day and the mysterious inhabitants that emerge at night. From the moment guests walk through the Hidden Amazon exhibit’s archway, they are transported to this exotic region, where poisonous frogs, schools of piranha and more create a colorful world.

On your journey through the Amazon:

  • Check out live piranhas and learn fact versus fiction on these fascinating creatures
  • Witness the intensity of an electric eel's discharge as it is measured by a voltage meter
  • Hear the real sounds of rainforest wildlife at an interactive kiosk
  • Take in the amazing colors of poison dart frogs
  • See iguanas, vampire tetras, stingrays and other intriguing rainforest species
  • Experience life in this region and the importance of conserving an area critical to the health of our planet
