For animal lovers in the Santa Clarita area, the Gibbon Conservation Center is a must-see attraction that makes a great family outing. This zoo-like facility studies gibbons, a member of an Asian ape species that are truly fascinating creatures. The biologists at the Gibbon Conservation Center study the gibbons and their mating patterns, diets, and other unique tendencies to help conserve the species and keep it from becoming endangered.
During your visit, you will not only get an up-close-and-personal look at the gibbons that inhabit the facility, you’ll also take a tour led by a biologist to learn all about the center’s conservation efforts. Wear comfortable walking shoes on your visit so that you can later enjoy wandering the grounds on the paved walking trails once the tour is through, and be sure to set aside at least two or three hours to really explore this fascinating facility.
