Imagine Asia Grand Opening

Imagine Asia will have a delayed opening time on Wednesday, July 15. Members will have exclusive access from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. General public access begins at 12:30 p.m. We can’t wait to see you there!

Animal Viewing Impacts:

African Rainforest Building: Habitat maintenance and mulch work will impact animal viewing in the Africain Rainforest Building:

  • Western lowland gorillas: viewable outdoors, weather-permitting, June 26, 29, and 30
  • Eastern black-and-white colobus monkeys: off-view until June 26
  • Mandrills: off-view June 24

PETRONAS Gateway to Asia Malayan Tapir Viewing: ‘Sempurna’ and her female calf ‘Nyawa’ have daily access to either the main indoor habitat or the outdoor habitat from 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. They’ll also have access to their behind-the-scenes space and may choose to spend time there, so viewing isn’t always guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.

Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.

  • Species Viewable: Bactrian camels, Komodo dragons, white-handed gibbons, Malayan tapirs, red-crowned cranes, Turkmenian markhors, Amur tigers, and Pallas’s cats.
  • Species Not Viewable: Snow leopards and red pandas have been relocated during construction, but don’t worry – these beloved species will be back in 2026.

West Gate Closure

Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.

Locked Zoo: Havoc in the Highlands (18+)

Something appears to have radically altered the behaviour of the area’s snow leopards, Sichuan takin, and red pandas. With dinner boxes included in your ticket, you’ll be fuelled as you puzzle your way through this after-hours adventure through the zoo. Click here for more about Locked Zoo.
