In Randers Rainforest, you get a tropical experience with free-living monkeys, iguanas, sloths, jaguars and many other exotic animals. The rainforest is a veritable sensory bombardment of tropical nature experiences in the encounter with fascinating animals from both South America, Africa and Asia.

A true jungle adventure awaits you

In the tropical climate with lianas, huge waterfalls, fantastic plants and lots of free-living animals, you feel transported to a world far away from home.

The air is warm and humid and filled with the sounds of the diverse wildlife found here. In the treetops above you, monkeys jump around and play, while bats and sloths get a little rest. On the forest floor, the leafcutter ants work tirelessly to drag heavy pieces of leaf down into their nest, all the while the manatees swim calmly around and the Komodo dragons laze on a sunny spot.

Meet animals from South America, Asia and Africa

In South America, you can e.g. meet the small, cheeky monkeys or the sloth hiding in the dense and lush jungle. In Asia, you can experience the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, and hear the beautiful song of the gibbon monkeys, while in Africa you can get up close to the lemurs or the industrious weaver bird, which builds elaborate nests.

The Ice Age

In Randers Regnskov you can experience the Danish Ice Age. It is the end of the last ice age and the several kilometer thick glacier, which has covered most of Denmark for millennia, is now melting away. All that remains are giant lumps of dead ice in the landscape.

In the Ice Age, you can explore the dead ice landscape and see what is hidden in the ice, play in the reindeer hunter's camp, meet the whimsical prairie dogs and experience one of the Nordic absolute top predators, the wolverine, up close.

The time travel

TIME JOURNEY takes you on a journey through the countryside from the country's birth to now! Experience the hyena plain and the Neanderthal camp from before the last ice age and play in the mammoth trees in the elephant cemetery. Pet the farm animals at the Stone Age settlement and come face to face with the European lynx at the stone nozzle. Follow the nature trail to the sacrificial bog from the Iron Age and have a refreshment at the farm playground.

The time journey also guides you to specific locations in Randers, where you can experience traces of the past and the future of Denmark.

Explore the Skull Cave

Explore a dark, underground cave where you can meet giant anacondas, bird spiders and hundreds of cockroaches, all while bats flutter around your ears. The skull cave is also an ancient burial site inspired by the Talgua cave in Honduras, where in the 1990s more than 200 neatly stacked bones and skulls were found, which had over time been covered by a glittering layer of lime crystals.

The cave is believed to have been a sacred burial chamber for an unknown civilization that lived in the area before the Mayans, for approx. 3000 years ago.
