We’re so grateful to all the generous sorts who’ve chipped in to get us here. So, let’s lose the gifts… and turn our big day into a celebration with the nation.

my son many times and I feel honoured to create art here in this central area of Masterton which has much meaning."
Local students were also down on site having a workshop in “graffiti art”

Working with habitat design experts, we’ve incorporated more climbing structures, hammocks and ropes than ever! These features aim to improve the Chimps wellbeing and encourage natural behaviours through environmental complexity.
There’s also a new immersive glass viewing area to help people connect with the Chimps and a new children’s playground, inspired by Chimps and how they play. Come to hang with the Chimps at Wellington Zoo for the grand opening of the Chimp Park and learn how you can make a difference to Chimpanzees in the wild.
