Como Friends invites members and donors to join us on Saturday, August 23, from 9:00 to 10:00 am for this before-hours Special Access Event celebrating Como Zoo’s primates—from the small and nimble emperor tamarins to the noble western lowland gorillas. Explore with us and get to know all about Como Zoo’s diverse species of apes, monkeys, and lemurs!
From Como Zoo’s earliest work in orangutan and gorilla care starting in the mid-1950s to the opening of Gorilla Forest in 2013, the keepers and staff at Como have decades of experience caring for apes and monkeys.
- Learn all about gorillas and orangutans from Como’s expert zookeepers.
- Make an enrichment activity for Como Zoo’s primates.
- Learn fun facts about monkeys with Como’s volunteers.
