For a step away from the indoor delights during your vacation, check out the Wildlife Habitat. Chilean flamingos are the big draw inside this lushly landscaped area, and they are splendid, standing on one foot in the pools dotted throughout the environment. Of course, that pink coloration against the greenery is striking and impossible to ignore.

But flamingos aren’t the only residents here—swans and ducks abound, floating along streams and waddling across paths. You’ll notice numerous types of small birdies flitting about as you walk, and occasionally dipping into a waterfall. Lean over a bridge and orange koi will become the star attraction for you. Watching a school of koi swimming up, down and around is mesmerizing and completely relaxing. It’s so chill you may forget you’re in the city—at least for a minute or two.
