It does look rather grim, but more could be made of the available space by putting in a network of poles and up into the roof space. It would give a lot more climbing opportunity and a greater area of the space they could use.
 
At least the chimps have their own vehicle! Do they ever sit in it?
They have already broken one car indoors, the outdoor one survived for longer.

The main problem is that our chimps do NOT like much to climb and exercise.
 
Yeah, I never seen a chimp who likes climbing or excercising-its not natural for that species.I bet, Ekatarienburgs Polar bears hate it to swim, and the penguins don't like water either.

By the way-looks like a World Class Zoo.

I think you will find that is because they have only limited opportunity to do so. With more apparatus they would slowly become fitter/more active I think.

It sure looks cold there with the snow. Presumably their indoors is heated?

Of course it's heated, and chimps can't go outside ;)
The exhibit is lighted up at dark cold evenings (and it's impossible to have a good shot at day because of shadows & glass reflection).
