Niabi Zoo

“Rainforest Exhibit” Interactives

The Silver Oaks creative team developed a Rainforest Exhibit for Niabi Zoo in Moline, Illinois, for their Discovery Center. The goal was to help kids understand the importance of the rainforest and how it affects their day-to-day lives, even though it’s half a world away.

Silver Oaks seized the opportunity and, from start to finish, produced four interactives that provide education and entertainment for a mix of ages – including a tree frog character that our illustrator created.
