Plantasia closed between 4 and 18 January 2010

Dec. 23, 2009 - PRLog -- The furred, feathered and scaly stars of Swansea’s Plantasia are looking forward to a spell out of the limelight as the attraction closes for essential maintenance.

The facility will close between 4 and 18 January 2010 to allow work on the climate control system which makes life comfortable for the animals and plants in the Council-run facility.

The annual maintenance is essential to ensure that Plantasia’s tropical, arid and humid climate zones are meticulously maintained.

The computerised system is connected to the weather station on the top of the pyramid-shaped building which houses the attraction.

Rare monkeys, giant insects, snakes and exotic birds are among the resident attractions at Plantasia, and the work will be completed before the return of the popular Animal Antics extravaganza in February.

Booking is essential for the three day show which gives the whole family the chance to handle rainforest creatures such as spiders, snakes and birds of prey.

Plantasia’s Manager Claire Riordan said: "Plantasia is a much-loved attraction that offers something very unique in the city. The exciting “Animal Antics” sessions feature creatures of the rainforest, and provide an excellent interactive experience.”
