June 10: Gorillas
Bring your troop to join our gorilla troop for an interactive breakfast of fun facts, activities, and opportunities to learn more about how we care for this iconic species. From the Education Team, you’ll learn how similar gorillas are to us with information about the species, their conservation status, and our work to help save gorillas in the wild. You’ll see their habitat being prepared for the day, and the moment that they start off their morning by running out and investigating what the Animal Care Team has for them to find! The Animal Care Team will also share stories and information about the individuals in the troop. We hope you will not only fill your bellies, but also your brains and hearts when you start your day with us exploring gorillas.
