The DWT facility was
not designed to be open to the public, but there is now the rare
opportunity to see it from the inside. The purpose of these tours is to raise funds
for the project, as well as to provide a unique opportunity for neighbors and
friends to learn about this project and these magnificent creatures.
What you will see:
Walking tour of the Dewar Wildlife facility includes gorilla villas, habitat, veterinary
hospital, food preparation room, administration, and holding areas This is
also a special opportunity for a face-to-face meeting with Joe - the
world’s 3rd oldest male gorilla in a zoo setting (49 years old in March of
2012) - who loves visitors! Two young silverbacks from Zoo Atlanta came to
Dewar Wildlife in February of 2012 and you'll get to meet them too!
