About Gorilla Forest
The award-winning four-acre Gorilla Forest is one of the most ambitious projects
ever undertaken at the Louisville Zoo. This multi-faceted exhibit
immerses you, the visitor, into the world of gorillas. Whether you are
searching along the Discovery Trail or stopping at Hippo Falls or
discovering the gorillas in one of their three habitats, you are in the
gorilla’s realm.
In addition to being
the home of 11 western lowland gorillas and
4 pygmy hippos, Gorilla
Forest provides new environmental education spaces and programming
opportunities. Through its innovative approach this exhibit ties
together the themes of animals, habitats, and the human culture of
Africa.
