We have a sneak peek of the new Gorongosa National Park Exhibit at zooboise!
Open to the public Wednesday July 17th!

Head to our Instagram stories and our lives to see! They’re still getting projects done, so it’s a little bit under construction, but you’ll get the idea. (Thank you to the Zoo for the tour!)
They done an incredible job, and we love that they are bringing a part of Africa to Boise. They’ve also been very conscientious of the mental state of the animals, allowing them a choice of where they reside, even if that is not in view of the guests. 
The new 2.5 acre exhibit will feature a variety of animals that can be seen in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, Southeast Africa. This includes African wild dogs, baboons, Nile crocodiles, vervet monkeys, otters, hyenas, warthogs, nyala and more.
The exhibit will also tell the story of the agricultural, medical and education programs that are in place to partner with the local people. The exhibit will be a way for visitors to learn about all the components of a real life conservation project as it unfolds.

Regular admission prices apply to this day.

Expansion Grand Opening will open July 17 from 10am to 5pm. There will be shuttles at Ann Morrison Park to assist with traffic congestion.
Also - if you haven’t been to the zoo for a while, you may not know they’ve actually re-done the entire entrance and it is so much better! More of that on our live!
Congrats to Zoo Boise, your hard work really paid off! #hellomeridian #zooboise #gorongosanationalpark
