ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Next month, guests of the Saint Louis Zoo will be able to walk at eye level with monkeys and lemurs in their treetops. The new Michael and Quirsis Riney Primate Canopy Trails exhibit opens July 12.

Admission to the Zoo and this exhibit is free, but timed reservations will be required. It opens to the public at 10 a.m.

Zoo guests will be able to walk from the forest floor, through a see-through tunnel, and up into the treetops on an elevated boardwalk to see up to 14 types of monkeys and lemurs in their state-of-the-art homes and play areas.

The $13 million exhibit consists of eight new outdoor homes for primates — lemurs, Old World monkeys and New World monkeys.

Overhead mesh tunnels connected to the Primate House lead to tall, preexisting live trees and other outdoor habitats with spaces for the animals to climb and perch
