This giraffe/ostrich habitat is actually one of the best exhibits at the Brookfield Zoo, as it combines realism with fantastic visitor viewing opportunities.
There was no African Savannah exhibit at the zoo until Habitat Africa was built. The original giraffe house was a typical giraffe/okapi house with typical yards attached. The old giraffe house was torn down to make way for Habitat Africa, and the okapi were moved to the conservation barn in the far corner of the zoo.
This is probably one of the better giraffe exhibits in North America, but there are also terrific enclosures at the San Diego Wild Animal Park and Disney's Animal Kingdom.
The nation has no shortage of good giraffe exhibits! SDWAP, Disney, Brookfield, Cheyenne Mountain, Seattle, San Francisco, Toledo, Phoenix, Busch Gardens, Miami, Jacksonville, Nashville, Bronx, Binder Park, Caldwell and many more!
