Step inside the complex and walk along cobblestone streets surrounded by Tuscan-themed architecture. Look up at the painted ceiling, designed to replicate the sky as it changes during the day. Browse the shops for a range of items, everything from the latest clothing fashions and home electronics to jewelry and sporting goods.

There are more than 60 bird species here as well as reptiles and small mammals. Visit the amphitheater to see flight displays. Take a ride on the giant helium balloon that departs daily from the gardens.

The complex offers plenty of evening entertainment, with cabaret and comedy shows, lounge bars and nightclubs. You can also play slot machines and table games in the 24-hour casino. Overnight accommodation is available in the complex.
