Gorillas of the Tropics

This exhibit is definitely one of our favorites. On a good day this place gets crowded so make sure you get here early for the best viewing conditions.  Here you can view Gorillas in their recreated natural surroundings. The natural habitat is amazing and although sometimes the Gorillas are hiding in the shade or in the trees the way the exhibit was created they can always be found with little effort. It is not uncommon to see the younger gorillas wrestling with each other and annoying their mothers.
