Themed Environmental and Research Facility for Gorillas and the Rain-forest Exhibit

At 6½ acres one of the largest indoor/outdoor zoo exhibits anywhere, the Bronx Zoo’s Congo Gorilla Forest brings visitors face-to-face – literally 1½” away – with more than 20 Western Lowland Gorillas and other imperiled species. The design places people in the middle of the animals’ world, a very advanced approach to zoo display.
