Perth Zoo's latest attraction is now open to the public with a state-of-the-art gibbon habitat swinging into action.

The modern design utilises vertical space, tripling the habitat area for the white-cheeked gibbons.

Rope pathways stretch above visitor walkways, allowing the gibbons to brachiate long distances just as they would in the wild – offering visitors an immersive and unforgettable experience.

Alongside the new habitat, upgrades have also been made to the Parkland Heart Precinct, including new seating, barbeque, event spaces, and an accessible Changing Places facility, helping make the zoo more inclusive and family friendly.
