Construction Updates
- River’s Edge: The pathways are now complete, and we are focusing on landscaping and fencing to finalize the project. While we do not have a specific completion date, we are entering the final stages and will provide updates as we near the finish line.
- Goat Encounters: We are currently finalizing the handwashing station and conducting staff training for public interaction. We anticipate opening the in-yard encounters this winter, ensuring a fun and safe experience for all guests.
- Alligator Exhibit: We are installing fencing and testing the water system to ensure everything is operational. Although we don’t have an exact completion date yet, our team is working diligently to have the exhibit ready as soon as possible.
- Rain Garden: This project is at the halfway mark, with all rainwater tanks installed and underground piping complete. The next phase is landscaping, and we expect significant progress in the coming weeks.
- Monkey Row: Exciting changes are happening as primates are being relocated and their habitats expanded. You may notice adjustments as we create more space and improved environments for our animals.
