Plantasia is a large public hothouse, located in the Parc Tawe retail park, Swansea, Wales that opened in 1990.
Plantasia exhibits a wide range of tropical plants, and insects, reptiles, and fish.
The glasshouse contains two climate zones: Tropical with a rainforest, and Arid. The collection includes over 5,000 plants, many of which are extinct from their natural habitat. Plant types include bananas, coconuts, giant bamboo, paw paw and collections of ferns and cacti.
Along with the plants, there is supporting life including crested geckos, tarantulas, red-bellied piranha, koi carp, green-winged macaws, parakeets, lorikeets, chameleons, bearded dragons and a Burmese python.
