Primate Row Now Open

Have you visited the zoo’s brand-new Primate Row yet? Home to four primate species, Primate Row closed last June for a complete renovation, but the new dens are now complete, and you can once again visit the colobus monkeys, spider monkeys, lemurs and guenons.

In addition to providing more space for the primates, the renovation also features large windows that provide natural light and allow guests to view and learn about the primates when they are off-exhibit. Reserve your tickets online today and stop by to visit Greenville’s favorite primates in their brand-new home!

Gifts Are a Big Hit

Thank you to everyone who purchased a gift from our animal wish list. We received lots of fun toys and enrichment items, and while the holidays are over, you can still support the animals. We keep the Amazon wish list updated and our keepers are always excited to receive extra enrichment items to help with training. The animals are happy, too!
