||
The Zoo renovated one of its most popular exhibits, Monkey Island, at a cost of $1.2 million. It received a higher mountain for the animals to climb, waterfalls, and a more natural look. The former 1950’s A-frame glass building was replaced with a large deck, allowing visitors to view the island in a new way. The Zoo received a beautification award for the new Macaque Island exhibit. Lakeview Place Restaurant near Lake Evinrude also was constructed in 2002. |
