Treetop Trail is an elevated trail for monkeys and lemurs to travel from their habitats in the Rare Animal Conservation Center outside through the trees around Impala Plaza. Animal fans of the system include the red-capped mangabey, black-and white colobus monkeys, white-faced sakis, blue-eyed lemurs and mongoose lemurs who love to travel and explore among the treetops providing visitors and animals with interesting new encounters!
Treetop Trail Extended!
Philadelphia Zoo is continuing its transformation! Come and see the monkeys and lemurs from both Rare Animal Conservation Center and PECO Primate Reserve as they travel far beyond their usual homes. A new 925-foot trail starting from the existing Treetop Trail around Impala Plaza winds through the trees down the Zoo’s main path, into KidZooU and ultimately connecting with PECO Primate Reserve. Trails and climbing aren’t just for monkeys though-- as part of KidZooU, another 400-foot trail connects areas for goats and sheep to travel right over the KidZooU entrance! This trail also connects to a supersized tower for goats, which love to climb. The Zoo’s new trail system has begun to transform the Zoo experience for animals and guests alike.
