The lower broadwalk is the tree top walk
The conservatory is misted hourly
Giving it a cool-moist atmosphere
the mist is piped from under the walkways
now it starts to look spectacular
combined with the attraction ambient music
this is my favorite part of the visit
digging the beam mist effect
it looks just like an alien space station
just so totally awesome
ready for space launch!
the mist will linger for about 20mins
and process repeated
looking totally foggy out there now
back to the mountain
the lower floors is home to multimedia areas
teaching the ecology of the gardens
the 5 degree show segment
showing the global consequences
of a 5 degree increase in global temperatures
various animated displays on the garden workings
complete with a scale model
of the gardens with animated overlays
this explains the various water features
located below ground level
looking back up!
this area is home to many predatory plants
basement overview
and ponds
the "secret" basement garden
and small themed streams
the conservatory exterior
The conservatory super structure
The Supertrees all lit at night
That's all for the conservatories!
the themed gardens lit at night
The lights run on batteries
calling the mothership!
fueled by solar power
The trees also does a light show every evening
cycling through various lighting schemes...
tied to with music.
collected earlier in the day
not to be missed
looking really spacey!
that's all folks!
