Activities at the zoo include:

  • Interactive education stations showcasing some of the important work being done to preserve gorillas and their habitats
  • Keeper talks about the seven gorillas that call the Los Angeles Zoo home and what goes into caring for them
  • Meet-and-greets with the author of Angela & Lulingu, the new children’s book starring the Zoo's very own three-year-old gorilla, Angela
  • Musical performances with Masanga Marimba

 

Got any unwanted devices? Guests who donate a handheld electronics device (such as a cellphone, tablet, handheld game) or $25 receive a small gorilla-themed gift, while supplies last.

The zoo also hosts a special after hours eventA Gathering for Gorillas from 7pm to 8:30pm.  Zoo experts and representatives from GRACE Gorillas discuss gorilla care, conservation, and the vital role of communities. After the panel, guests can enjoy a coffee and dessert reception and meet-and-greets with Angela & Lulingu author Brenda Scott Royce. Tickets for this special event are $5.
