Hogle Zoo is a family favorite during summer months, and this year it’s especially nice to be able to wander through the zoo and breathe in the fresh air. Right now there’s a brand new baby gorilla that you’ll want to meet, and you also won’t want to miss the antics of the new Amur leopard cubs, Storm and Skye.

Address: 2600 Sunnyside Avenue, Salt Lake City, UT 84108

On July 6th, Western Lowland gorilla Jabali gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Father Husani was a little bit concerned about all flurry of activity surrounding the birth, but the gorilla troop has settled in now and this little baby is definitely well-loved.

Click here and scroll to the bottom of the page to reserve a 15-minute time slot between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. There's no charge for the reservation; it's simply a way to keep crowds down until this baby is just a little older.
If you haven't had a chance to visit Hogle Zoo yet this year, now's the time! You definitely don't want to miss the adorable babies, and see all of the other beautiful animals here.
