Restless Planet

Move from humid, damp environments to searing desert heat. After resting on the edge of a splitting continent, move to a landscape torn apart by erupting volcanoes. Over millions of years, the landscape that is now Virginia experienced all of these environments – and left us the clues to prove it. The brand new, multi-million dollar Restless Planet displays these environments – featuring 12,000 square feet of gallery space, and home to 6,000 new animals and 367 new species including Komodo dragons, exotic cobras, hedgehogs, and so much more.
