Construction for a new exhibit at the Miller Park Zoo will begin in Spring 2020.

Jay Tetzloff, Miller Park Zoo superintendent, indicates the zoo will add a DeBrazza Monkey exhibit with construction beginning in Spring 2020. The exhibit is set to open in March 2021 to help draw a larger attendance.

Tetzloff notes the exhibit is being designed to evoke the sense of being in the monkey's environment for patrons. The DeBrazzas will be located next to the flamingos.

The DeBrazza Monkey exhibit will cost $600,000 and is being funded by a reinstated state grant.
