Description of Garden

Designer:

Set in the 700-acre Roundhay Park, Tropical World re-creates the lush green atmosphere of the Amazon rainforest with beach huts, waterfalls, jungle pools, swamp and many of the exotic denizens of the tropics, including butterflies of every colour, snakes, spiders and many unusual tropical insects and birds. The waters teem with Red-Tailed Catfish and Piranhas and when you are sated with the forest you can retire to the Nocturnal House and inspect the Fruit bats, Monkeys, Bush babies and Sugar-Gliders, all normally only seen at night. Finally you emerge from the forest into the desert to see the meerkats and hundreds of magnificent succulents and cacti.

The whole experience will entrance children and amuse and entertain adults.
