We're going to the Rainforest! Fortunately, our entry fee is much cheaper than a plane ticket - and we'll be only a few miles away from Lake Erie. Welcome to "The Rainforest", an indoor exhibit at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in Cleveland, OH. Today's topics include the endangered gharial, animal enrichment, and thunderstorms!

We return to "Adventure! In the Valley of the Unknown" at COSI in Columbus, OH and take a walk down memory lane with Eric and Jen, who helped design and run the exhibit. Find out why the team chose to follow in Dr. Jones' footsteps, what happens to water when it doesn't do what it's supposed to, and how long it takes for a new volunteer to give up solving the puzzles themselves and reach for the guidebook! (Also: Beware Monster Elevators!)
