One of the best gorilla exhibits in the world.
The Netherlands strikes again with a great zoo exhibit! How large is this enclosure? It seems enormous but of course appearances can be deceiving.
 
The outdoor exhibit is huge (and very good - certainly one of the best I've seen). When I was last there Patas Monkeys shared the exhibit.

The indoor gorilla exhibit is rather less impressive - much more... functional and not terribly large.
 
The gorilla island was created with 2 ha in the 70´s, some years latter they divided it for make another island for gorillas, that now the bonobos use.

The gorilla island covers 1,5 ha and the Bonobo Island around 0,4 ha.
