That we’ve got a little piece of the rainforest right here

Who would think that a rainforest exists in the middle of the city? But the Fuqua Conservatory Rainforest at the Atlanta Botanical Garden is just that — a gigantic greenhouse packed with tons of plants, towering trees, hanging vines, and choking heat. As the sunlight filters through the trees, and the piped-in mist engulfs you and a massive leaf brushes your leg, it’s possible to experience a genuine moment of Rain Forestness (minus the bugs).
