Land of Lemurs Walkthrough & Outdoor Gorilla Amphitheatre: The two outdoor animal viewing areas will close for the season beginning on October 15. Lemurs and gorillas will be viewable in their indoor habitats.

African Savannah Yard: Our Hartmann’s mountain zebras and ostriches will be off-view until early 2025 while we complete exciting upgrades in the African Savannah Yard, including the construction of a new Savannah Barn for the animals. Our giraffe tower will continue to be viewable throughout the project.

Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome, ‘Marshie’

February 09, 2024 | 1 minute read

Hop on the caravan, we have exciting news – another female Bactrian camel has joined our zoo family! We are excited to welcome 7-year-old ‘Marshie’.

Marshie is now calling the camel habitat in Exploration Asia home alongside our other Bactrian camel resident, 18-year-old female ‘Zsa-Zsa’. Marshie seems to be settling in well and has even been seen sharing the camel shelter with her new habitat mate!

Stop by the yard outside of Gateway to Asia to catch a glimpse of our newest resident.
