Plantasia Swansea

Come and explore this unique tropical haven of wonderful plants and animals situated in the heart of the city, from insects, reptiles, fish and monkeys to bananas, pineapple plants, prickly cacti and giant bamboo: Plantasia has it all!

The Rainforest Hut has been built using tribal techniques and is full of fascinating features to study from hammocks and musical instruments to the fire pit and spirit masks, plus tribal singing in the background!

The animal elements are fairly diverse, incorporating moneys and chameleons, parakeets and the aquarium. Plenty to look at for all ages with recognizable types and one of the largest snakes in the world: lovely!

The Hot House Trail is a fun educational greenhouse walk which offers huge specimens of hot weather plants like giant bamboo and sugar cane, paw-paw, lime, cocoa, black pepper and the enticingly named but utterly inedible Lollipop Plant!

The Arid and Tropical climate houses demonstrate the differing environments and which plants thrive in each. Really interesting!
