Climb, leap, explore—just like the animals do.

Anchoring an active play area, the Wild Woods Exhibit—home to Squirrel Monkeys and Coatis—sits beside a maze of boulders, waterfalls, splash streams, and the towering Tree of Dreams. Designed to encourage parallel play, the exhibit mirrors the animals' environment with features like spiral staircases, mushroom steps, and suspended rope bridges. These shared play experiences create opportunities for young visitors to connect with wildlife and build empathy through active exploration.
