Celebrate Congo Gorilla Forest's 10 Year Anniversary at the Bronx Zoo
The 10th Anniversary of the Congo Gorilla Forest makes now an especially good time to visit, because The Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo is celebrating with special programs that highlight the Congolese culture. There will be traditional African drum and dance performances by the Harambee Dance Company, kids can watch “lunchtime with the gorillas” at 2pm each day, and experience the crafts of the Republic of Congo with artisans from the Museum for African Art leading workshops in Basket-making, Gourd Adornment, Bead-making and Mask making. Best of all, visiting the zoo contributes to WCS's ongoing conservation work with gorillas and the Congo.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
For kids the thrill of the Congo is always new. They love to see the gorillas face to face, playing with their own "children" and even seeming to interact with us sometimes. Our children have been so lucky to have this wonderful award-winning experience right at our doorsteps. To be able to experience the largest African rain forest ever built where they can discover thousands of exotic plants, miles of vines, elephant footprints, monkeys, hogs, mandrills, and birds, in addition to, of course, seeing the gorillas up close and personal any time we want.
The special Congo programs will be held on: 6/19 - 6/20, 6/26 - 6/27, 7/4 – 7/5, 7/11-7/12, 7/18-19, and 7/25-26. You can get a $5 discount on admission by visiting www.bronxzoo.com/congo.
