I agree, certainly the most active zoo on youtube. Now I am deciding between attending the opening or waiting until it's "done done" which is probably late Oct.
Thank you for giving them so much beautiful space. The Oregon Zoo needs to help its elephants: it's one of the worst rated in the US for pachyderm care.
The Zoo has to raise all the money for any of the new habitats through private donations. This was the biggest fundraising project in the Zoos history. This is a very big project that required relocating parking lots and other things before the actual construction could take place.
There's massive rain tanks underneath the elephant exhibit which store rainwater. A lot of the new developments at Cincinnati (Africa, Roo Valley, and now Elephant Trek) have these systems so the zoo doesn't pull from the city water supply.
Throughout this massive project, these updates have been captivating.
Can't wait to see it all and have the elephants enjoying it. It looks so hugh.
Great job!!! Thank you for giving these animals a wonderful place to live!!
I wish i lived closer! I would LOVE to visit Cincinnati Zoo!!
Hope to get to the Cincinnati Zoo someday, seems you're the #1 Zoo in the Country, and surely the #1 staff in the Country based on what I've seen. 👍👍

Will the tropical vegetation (palms, bird of paradise, bananas, etc) be replanted every year?
Many of The topical plants are stored in a temperature controlled storage facility in the winter months.

Why wasn’t this project put in place years ago??! They’ve always needed a better space!!
Public tax levy funds a portion. This involves acres of land parcels within the city limits that needed to be put together. Huge project.

@@cincinnatizoois there an exact date that elephant trek is set to open?
Wait, did the elephants already parade through the zoo?
QUESTION: With all this concrete being poured, is water conservation and collection being taken into account?

Thats great!!@ShempHoward2
Why is it taking forever?
Because it is a huge multi acre project, which they have had to raise money, relocate parking lots, and build different buildings.
