Part of the indoor exhibit for chimpanzees inside the Pan-Passage in the rainforest-biotope of the Africa theme in ZOOM Erlebniswelt, Germany. This exhibit is 400 sqm or 4300 sq ft in size and 7 meters or 23 ft high. It is loaded with nicely designed climbing structures but unfortunately lacks some more natural substrate for foraging.
Sadly this exhibit is located right by an indoor playground for children making it a rather noisy place to be. Otherwise it is a great design with lots of natural light coming down.
ZOOM Erlebniswelt is a brand new zoo built completely from scratch on the site of the old Ruhr Zoo. It is divided into three large themes: Alaska (2005), Africa (2006) and Asia (2010).
