Project Chimps Discovery Days
June 9 @ 12:00 am
During Discovery Days, visitors have the opportunity to see and learn about the former research chimpanzees living at the Project Chimps sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Come early and stay after your tour to visit the Discovery Zone booths and explore our new hiking trails! You are welcome to bring your own picnic and enjoy it by our scenic koi pond.
Our team will offer 60-minute guided walking tours of the sanctuary. Tickets are available from 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. by reservation, and exact tour times will be determined at Event Check-In. Closed-toed hiking shoes are strongly encouraged, as the tour of the habitat consists of a moderate hike on a gravel road. Out of respect for the chimpanzees, please only carry water during the tour — they may get jealous of snacks or juices they see you enjoying.
This is a rain-or-shine event.
