River’s Edge construction update April 2024

Posted on April 26, 2024


Are you keeping an eye on the River’s Edge Construction?

While there is not an opening date yet, construction is progressing, and the habitat is going vertical! This week a series of large, steel posts were lifted into place by a giant crane. Some of these posts have big rings on them…. for the future primate trails portion of the habitat!

When complete, River’s Edge will be home to a series of habitats featuring South American giant river otters and a variety of primates. Primates will be able to move through the trail system creating an immersive space for both guests and animals.

Thank you to all of our guests for their patience and for sharing our excitement for these new habitats!
Keep up with construction updates and see the journey so far in our Instagram highlights!
