2009: Regular Tours Scheduled:
What:
- A rare opportunity to see the private Gorilla Haven Facility
- Limited to 25 people each tour
- $50 donation per person
- Rain or shine
- Walking tour
Gorilla Haven has not been designed to be open to the public, but owners, Steuart and Jane Dewar, have offered to provide a rare, personal tour. This is to raise funds for the project, as well as offer a unique opportunity to our neighbors and friends.
What You'll See: Walking tour will include the GH facility, including gorilla villas, habitat, veterinary hospital, food preparation room, administration, group building, and get a first hand look at this one-of-a-kind, AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) certified safe haven for zoo gorillas. If the gorilla residents, Joe and Oliver, decide they're interested, you'll see them too, but that will be up to them, since their welfare is our main concern. In truth, they have always put on a good "show" for those on tours, but neither can we unconditionally guarantee that they will meet everyone's expectations of visibility.
What to Expect: The tour will be rain or shine; it is on mountainous terrain and there is some climbing and walking on graveled roads involved, so dress accordingly. GH souvenirs will be available for sale and complimentary soft drinks will be provided. Parking is very limited, so please car-pool, if possible.
Donations of $50 per person will be requested for people over 18 years of age. A Family Plan (up to 6) pay $50 for the first adult and $25 for the subsequent family members. Children under 12 years old by special permission only; 1 adult per 2 children under the age of 18 years old please. As a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation, this donation is tax deductible as allowed by law.
Reservations will be on a first come first served basis, confirmed upon receipt of donation and registration form. If you cannot make your scheduled tour date, you may apply your donation to a future tour, if available or consider it a donation. If GH has to cancel the tour for any reason, another date will be rescheduled (donations will be refunded to anyone who cannot make the new date).
