Discover the wonders of the Virginia Zoo like never before with the Tree-Top Trail, a centerpiece of the Zoo’s visionary EdVenture and Exploration Campus. This feature offers a unique opportunity for the Zoo’s animal ambassadors to explore interconnected outdoor habitats while providing guests with an unparalleled perspective on wildlife.

The Tree-Top Trail is an elevated pathway with see-through mesh, connecting three expansive outdoor habitats and allowing animals to explore freely. Thoughtfully designed to reflect natural environments, these interconnected spaces give animals room to roam while offering guests unique perspectives of their behaviors. A retractable canvas underlay ensures the trail stays clean and functional without disrupting the view.

As a key feature of the Animal Ambassador Headquarters on the Campus, the trail and habitats also serve as an educational platform, highlighting the expertise of zookeepers and the Zoo’s commitment to conservation. Step into this extraordinary feature and experience wildlife in a whole new way.
