H/Under the Canopy: Animals of the Rainforest

Health & Safety Information

Under the Canopy is presented by ATAS International, Inc., Lehigh County, and Reach Cyber Charter School, with support from Moravian Academy.

Under the Canopy: Animals of the Rainforest is a highly immersive exhibit experience where you and your family will discover what rainforests are, where they are in the world, how they are doing, and why they are important.

You will be introduced to 15 different species of animals that call the rainforest home. These exotic animals include various amphibians—like frogs and toads— reptiles—like lizards, tortoises, and snakes—and even some mammals—like a Two-Toed Sloth! Interact with professional educational conservationists as you get up-close and personal with some of the world’s most precious representatives of the animal kingdom.

Exhibit signage for Under the Canopy is presented in both English and Spanish.
