Tropical Encounters

Like walking straight into a jungle, the Tropical Encounters experience at the Como Zoo is the perfect escape from cold Minnesota days, or to simply feel like you are in a completely different part of the world for a while. I could sit here for hours enjoying the sounds of nature and watching the turtles and fish. Occasionally you can see Chloe the sloth relaxing on a tree in this room, and there are also small exhibits for a few exotic frogs, tarantulas, and a few other reptiles as you walk through the area.

I always am happy when I come to como

The kids love seeing the turtles, fish, birds, and all the tropical plants. This is a great place to come in the winter in Minnesota.

Wonderful little exhibit with tropical birds, turtles, and a sloth!

We had a wonderful warmth tropical experience in Minnesota here. So many tropical trees and those reptiles , fishes and a sloth. It's really a wonderful experience for us.

Plants, fish, reptiles and a sloth. A cool trip through the rainforest in the middle of the cities. Great to take a relaxed stroll or bring the kids and let them learn in awe about nature.

Wonderful place to experience the Tropics in Minnesota.
