Visit “the eighth continent” without leaving Greater Cleveland. We’re home to a world-class collection of exotic plants and animals, including iconic “upside-down” trees and a free-roaming chameleon.

Madagascar’s greenery is among the most unique on Earth, and we’re proud to display a collection of endangered plants, as well as one of the United States’ largest collections of baobab trees. (These massive trunks and hard-shelled fruits have to be seen to be believed.)

In addition to our rare plants, we house exotic animals, including yellow-throated plated lizards and three radiated tortoises.

Come take the trip of a lifetime—no passport needed.
