What do you suppose are the odds? The NCAA Division 1 College Baseball World Series is being played (and televised) right now (June 2009) in Rosenblatt Stadium. That is the Baseball stadium adjacent to the Desert Dome. You can see the dome in the background of the home plate camera shots of the game. Check it out on ESPN.

Yeah. Wikipedia is a little bit confusing with all the different areas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Doorly_Zoo#Lied_Jungle

while for the zurich zoo has just got one area stated here: http://cmsdata.iucn.org/downloads/masoala_factsheet.pdf

the question is: which one is it…

Well, after all the sites I’ve checked, the most recent update is that the largest indoor rainforest is still at the Henry Doorly Zoo.

I’m not 100% sure but I think the largest indoor rainforest is the one here: Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth

But indoor desert sounds fascinating anyway!
