Maya the spider monkey has grown so much! She can be seen climbing, jumping, and playing in the Secret Jungle.
Did you know? Young spider monkeys are carried on their mothers stomach until about 16 weeks old. At that point, they are strong enough to ride on their mother's back!
Grab a warm drink at The Mill and visit Maya and the rest of the spider monkey troop in the Secret Jungle! ☕️
As we say goodbye to 2024, we look back on all of the amazing memories the year brought us. So many people walked through the Zoo’s gates and made memories to last a lifetime with their friends and family. They fed a giraffe, climbed with spider monkeys, saw a cheetah run, learned something new about an endangered species, and discovered a love of the natural world. We also welcomed new residents in 2024: Percy the Penguin, Maya the spider monkey, Juniper, Spruce and Cedar the red panda triplets, and Dan the giraffe. It’s been a year of growth, connection and memories made. Looking forward to doing it all again in 2025! We’ll see you all at the Zoo in the new year 🥳

Zoo Lights Powered by LES Fountain Light Show
🚨SPOILER ALERT! Zoo Lights Powered by LES has a BRAND-NEW light show this year, and we're giving you a sneak peek! This 36,000 square foot show mimics a water fountain show - but with lights✨ It's a dynamic performance featuring a field of meadow grass lights that dance to the music, and 25-foot towers wrapped in lights that move in time with holiday music while closely mimicking the flow of water.
This incredible light show was created and designed by our Zoo team. Every piece of this show from the welding of the large metal towers to the installation of thousands of meadow grass lights, to designing the color and movement of the lights at a specific moment during a specific holiday song - all of it was done by our Zoo team. It's the largest show of its kind! You won't see something like it anywhere else and we can't wait for you to see it in person!

Exciting news! Percy is learning how to swim! Now that Percy has her waterproof feathers, she was introduced to the pool for the first time! Under the supervision of her Zookeepers, Percy was able to explore and practice in shallow water in the behind-the-scenes pool. Her natural swimming skills kicked right in, and she did amazing! As Percy continues to practice her swimming skills she will be introduced to deeper water and the outdoor pool. Once Percy has conquered swimming, she will be ready to make her public debut! Be on the lookout soon for more info about when you will be able to see Percy during your trip to the Zoo!

Sometimes you spend time making cookie enrichment for Tangra and she takes one bite before deciding she doesn’t want it. 😂
