Restless Planet features four habitats from around the world that existed in Virginia millions of years ago. Visitors will explore immersive live animal exhibits and engage in 36 new hands-on activities designed to demonstrate the processes that shaped Virginia's current landscape. Restless Planet will include a Malaysian Peat Swamp, a Coastal Sahara Desert, the Red Sea, and Indonesia's Flores Island - the same environments and landscapes that Virginia experienced millions of years ago. The habitats will recreate the look, feel and sounds of those environments, as well as showcase many of the animals that adapted to those environments.
