The Lincoln Park Zoo’s Pepper Wildlife Center lets visitors and lions get a little closer while also preserving the historic character of a Chicago landmark.

The St. Louis Zoo  Primate Canopy Trails are home to 40 primates representing 14 different species. When lead design firm PGAV Destinations and general contractor Tarlton Corp. began work on the 35,000-sq-ft expansion to the existing primate house in late 2019, one of their biggest challenges was planning work around chimpanzees, lemurs and colobus monkeys. 

Opened in April 2015, Zoo Atlanta’s Scaly Slimy Spectacular! includes a main amphibian and reptile exhibit, event space, Georgia river pond and playground.
