Pardon Our Progress!

We understand construction isn’t usually top of mind when planning a fun day out, so we want to make your visit as smooth as possible during this period of change. Thank you for your patience and support as we work to build an even better Zoo experience for everyone.

What to Expect During Your Visit

The Zoo will remain open throughout construction, but there are a few temporary changes:

• Construction noise, especially during demolition phases
• New directional signage throughout the Zoo to help guide you
  • Access to the Great Apes area will be available through the entrance next to the orangutans. A temporary turnaround route will be in place, allowing guests to view all great ape habitats—including orangutans, chimpanzees, and gorillas—before retracing their steps.
  • The only animals affected by this project are the lemurs. They’ve been temporarily moved to the same building as the Colobus Monkeys and rotate through the exhibit separately.
