Randers Regnskov (rainforest)

An hour or so North of Aarhus in Randers you can be experience tropical rainforests from the world’s three large rainforest continents.
 

The three glass domes are home to a variety of tropical plants and exotic animals from Africa, Asia and South America.
 

 
Walking into the first dome, I didn't really know what to expect. As I pushed through the plastic stripes at the door I was hit with the heat, humidity and smell of what I can only imagine a real rainforest smell like.
 
 
The illusion of a real rainforest is created with the real plants, ponds and a 10 metre high waterfall, but the best part about Randers Ragnskov has to be the free roaming animals.
 

While walking around, Alice and I literally had to dodge flying fruit bats, avoid touching ants marching along the hand rails of bridges and stay clear of a monkey with seemingly no fear of humans.
 


As an animal lover this was so much fun to take part in such an interactive, real environment, plus look how close I got to that sloth! If you can't make it to a Africa or Asian rainforest visit Randers Regnskov and you'll think you're there.
