The Palm House is very humid - look up for the high steam jets. The plants are divided into areas of the world. Beware of overhanging plants on the walkways. See the ornate wrought iron spiral staircase up to the gallery and down to the aquatic display. In the basement you can wear 3D glasses and try 'swimming with plankton'!

This is the stunning glasshouse near to the Victoria Gate entrance. At one end you can see the world's oldest pot plant, a Cyrad.
