Helen Brach Primate House

Primates come in all shapes and sizes and can be found all over the world. Helen Brach Primate House makes this incredible diversity evident, giving guests an intimate look into the fascinating existence of ten primate species, from black howler monkeys to crowned lemurs. While the stately, historic exterior of the building remains intact, the interior exhibits were renovated to create more naturalistic ecosystems for the primate inhabitants. Some exhibit spaces are capable of housing multiple species. There is also a large outdoor space where, in warmer months, white-cheeked gibbons swing from branches and vines, often stopping passersby in their tracks to watch in awe of their agility.
