The San Diego Zoo opened its newest exhibit Friday morning.
The complex is targeted for educational entertainment — in particular, programs and personal contact with animals to encourage conservation and compassion for the environment.
The Basecamp project has been planned since 2015, and became the most expensive exhibit ever constructed at the zoo, with a price tag of $88 million. The cost was covered by donations from individuals and philanthropic organizations.Danielle Miller visits the Wildlife Explorers Basecamp with her children. The 3.2-acre exhibit features habitats that include the rain forest, desert dunes, woodlands and marshlands.
“It gives them a place to get out their energy so they can be focused more when we want to stop and learn something,” she said, “and it makes the learning fun like they can see the squirrel monkeys right here.”
