Visiting the Center for Great Apes

The sanctuary is not open to the public as an attraction or zoo. However current yearly members and supporters of the Center are invited to attend our annual Member Day in the spring.



In addition to the annual Member event, members who join:

  • at the Orangutan Family level ($250-$999) may a schedule a walking tour of the sanctuary grounds for up to four family members.
  • at the Great Ape Family level ($1000-$9999) will include a private "behind-the-scenes" tour of the sanctuary and facilities for up to six family members or guests.
  • at the Founder's Club level ($10,000 and above) may schedule an overnight stay in one of our guest cabins and join the Director for dinner.


All visits to the Center are by appointment only.
