Chimpanzee Keeper Chats

Wednesday through Sunday at 2:30pm starting May 27th until September 2nd. 

The Maryland Zoo’s chimpanzee troop is made up of 11 wild personalities.  Get a chance to see them at their most active during our daily Chimp Keeper Chat.  Every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2:30pm join a member of our animal care staff for a training demonstration and discussion of behaviors, adaptations and social cues unique to this species.

Join us just outside the Chimpanzee Forest in the outdoor exhibit space (indoors during inclement weather and the winter season) for this daily chat, which is a favorite among guests.  And we recommend bringing a camera, too as it’s a great opportunity for images of the chimps interacting with their keepers.  Plus, get a chance to ask all your questions as each chat includes time for a Q&A.

Please note that due to animal care priorities, keeper chats may not occur exactly on time.  Every effort is made to keep to a scheduled time, however, sometimes due to circumstances these experiences may be slightly delayed.
