Burgers' Desert, Desert ecosystem building at Royal Burgers' Zoo, Netherlands
The desert building holds numerous cactus species and desert flora within a temperature-controlled environment that replicates natural arid conditions throughout the year.
The desert section emerged during the 1985 modernization phase of Royal Burgers' Zoo, marking a shift toward creating immersive habitat experiences.
The facility serves as an educational center where visitors learn about desert ecosystems through detailed exhibits and informative displays about plant adaptations.
The desert building maintains consistent opening hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, with temperature regulation systems ensuring optimal viewing conditions regardless of external weather.
Air cushion technology in the building's canopy structure allows natural light penetration while reducing maintenance costs compared to traditional glass installations.
