Thank you for being a part of our adoptive parent family!

Caring for one of our apes costs over $30,000 a year. By symbolically adopting the ape of your choice for a one-time donation of $300 or $400, you are helping ensure your orangutan or chimpanzee's health, safety, and well-being. Your donation will go toward the basic items your ape needs, such as food, medical care, habitat maintenance, and enrichment activities vital to these intelligent and sensitive individuals.

FAQs

All virtual visits are subject to the schedule of the sanctuary and the apes. Not every ape's personality will allow for a live virtual visit. In some instances, a prerecorded session may be needed. Virtual Visits are usually scheduled Monday through Friday between 2:45 - 3:15 PM EST. However, with enough notice, a Saturday date and time can be accommodated.

All private tours are scheduled on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday at either 10:30 AM or 12:30 PM depending on our availability. Tours last approximately 2 hours.

**Virtual visits and private tours are valid for one year from the initial donation date.
