You want an air-conditioned greenhouse? Years ago, and I think it was in the botanical garden at Christchurch, New Zealand (someone correct me if I'm misremembering), I visited a Subantarctic House, which had been designed to replicate and display some remarkable and mostly quite large plants from the subantarctic islands. It was a dome, with a boardwalk which zig-zagged around inside. The walls were painted with scenes of the islands, and the plants installed in beds in front of the scenes, quite realistically. It was very cold, and huge fans blew at a rate imitating the Roaring Forties. The plants looked great and many were in flower. A great way to see this amazing flora without dying of seasickness!
