Plizio Visual Lab
Randers Rainforest
Randers Regnskov is a unique tropical zoo located in the Danish city of Randers, which first opened its doors in 1996. The facility consists of three large geodesic domes, each meticulously representing the flora and fauna of the tropical regions of South America, Africa, and Asia. Within these artificial ecosystems, over 200 animal species and more than 450 plant species thrive in a controlled, humid, and warm environment. Visitors traverse paths through dense jungle foliage, where monkeys, lemurs, and exotic birds often roam freely among the guests. Key highlights include the 'Afrikagrottan' nocturnal house and the specialized snake exhibit. Beyond tourism, Randers Regnskov is heavily involved in international breeding programs for endangered species and environmental education. The attraction is designed to provide an authentic experience of tropical biodiversity and highlight its significance for the global climate.
