Say Farewell (For Now) to the Snow Monkeys!

Big changes are coming to the Minnesota Zoo! As part of our Waterfront Renewal project, the snow monkeys (Japanese macaques) will soon move behind the scenes while their brand-new habitat is built.

Before they head off after Labor Day, stop by during regular daytime Zoo hours to wish them well—and join in the monkey business one last time (for now)!


🎉 Daily Highlights included with your regular Zoo daytime admission:
🍌 Watch a macaque feeding @ 10am
🎤 Hear from a zookeeper during a special keeper talk @ 10am
📸 Snap a pic with a giant inflatable snow monkey in Central Plaza
📝 Share your favorite snow monkey memory

🍰 Treats Available for Purchase at Penguin Café:
Banana Foster Trail Mix
Banana Chocolate Swirl Cake

Come celebrate these playful primates before they take a break from the spotlight. We can’t wait to welcome them back to their new home soon!
