Gorilla Grove


Gorilla Grove features over 360,000 cubic feet for the troop to explore, including vines and trees for climbing, a cascading waterfall, and a multitude of built-in foraging opportunities for gorillas to discover throughout the day. 

Venture through the observation outpost to the heart of the habitat, where you’ll get a 360-degree view of Gorilla Grove. Come face-to-face with gorillas at the viewing stations around you, or look up, and you may see gorillas peeking in at you through the skylights as they climb overhead! 

Please note: Gorillas can explore Gorilla Grove when it’s sunny and at least 55 degrees. On rainy days, the temperature must be at least 60 degrees. If it's cooler or wet, you’ll find the troop staying warm inside the Tropical Forest.
