Since 1875, the Ross Park Zoo has connected our community to the natural world. Our New World Tropics Building, home to our Geoffroy's Marmosets, allows visitors to enter a rainforest in their backyard and hear our marmosets "talking" with each other. Like the zoo, the New World Tropics Building is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm. As temperatures cool off, you can always warm up in our New World Tropics, where it's always 78 degrees.
You can help ensure our marmosets continue to receive high-quality care by supporting our Animal Care Fund by donating online at https://rossparkzoo.app.neoncrm.com/forms/animal-care-fund
