Move on to the African Forest to watch exotic birds and some of our closest primate ancestors. You’ll see squawking spoonbills and a cast of other critters, but by far the habitat’s biggest attraction is the great apes of Harambee. See western lowland gorillas, drills and chimpanzees play within a faithfully re-created rainforest. See Amur tigers, red pandas and a group of cheeky Japanese macaques at the Asian Forest.

Stroll through the butterfly garden and free-flight aviary where some of the planet’s prettiest creatures live.You’ll see America’s largest polar bear exhibit at the Arctic Ring of Life.
