🦧 International Orangutan Day is celebrated on August 19th! 🦧

Join us as we celebrate these incredible, intelligent red-haired great apes at our International Orangutan Day Event! This special, educational tour is your opportunity to visit our orangutan areas and meet many of the amazing orangutan residents who call the Center for Great Apes home.

Throughout the tour, you'll hear from our dedicated orangutan caregivers as they share stories, fun facts, and insight into the personalities and lives of these remarkable individuals. We’ll kick things off with an “Orangutan Talk” hosted by our Ape Care Supervisor of Orangutans, and you'll wrap up your visit with time to browse and shop for one-of-a-kind, limited orangutan art and CGA merchandise.

🎟️ Raffle tickets will be available for purchase for a chance to win:

An overnight stay in our CGA cabin
An orangutan painting experience
A unique orangutan art piece

The Center for Great Apes is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) sanctuary dedicated to providing a permanent sanctuary for orangutans and chimpanzees who have been retired from the entertainment industry, from research, or who are no longer wanted as pets. The Center provides care with dignity in a safe, healthy and enriching environment for great apes in need of lifetime care. While the Center for Great Apes is not open to the public, we do offer tours under special circumstances and for educational purposes. Therefore, we are sure you will understand that all tours are subject to certain parameters.
