Tietoa

Nopeat faktat: More than 150 species call this 12-acre site home, including endangered western lowland gorillas and a breeding group of Asiatic lions. The zoo's 19th-century aviary was among the first in the world designed specifically for public display of living birds.

Kohokohdat: The Gorilla House lets you stand just meters from a silverback through floor-to-ceiling glass, watching him calmly strip bark or interact with his troop. You can also walk through the walk-through lemur enclosure, where ring-tailed lemurs might hop right onto your shoulder if you're standing still.

Sisäpiirin vinkit

Visit the walk-through lemur enclosure during scheduled feeding times for the most active lemur encounters.
The reptile house is easy to overlook but holds some of the zoo's most fascinating species, including venomous snakes and giant tortoises.
Bring a reusable water bottle: refill stations are scattered around the site, and the cafe prices are steep.
