Things to Do

Congo Gorilla Forest
Gorillas are among our closest relatives in the wild and that’s pretty clear watching ours. From cautious to playful to nurturing, each has a unique personality. It's always a thrill to see them interact. Additional $6 with Limited Admission Ticket.

African Plains
Among big cats, lions are considered one of the more social. On sunny afternoons, ours can sometimes be seen sharing a drink of water in the shade, a nap on the rocks, or a burst of play.

Tiger Mountain
Our tigers use different ways to communicate. They can rub cheeks and make noises called “chuffles.” They can growl. If the moment calls for it, they can wow us with a roar.

Baboon Reserve
To geladas, like ours on their sloped expanse, gestures don’t typically signify the same thing they do for humans. For instance, a yawn showing off one’s teeth can be viewed as aggression.
