Details

August 2 marks the day to raise awareness for the small but mighty golden lion tamarin (GLT)! Visit Zoo Atlanta to enjoy a day highlighting this remarkable primate.

• Meet a member of the Primate Care Team during a keeper chat to learn about the care GLTs receive at Zoo Atlanta.
• Learn all about GLTs through biofact exploration, games, and activities.
  • Due to their size, GLT features may be hard to see. Get up close with skull replicas, handprints, and footprints to observe their physical traits.
  • Gain GLT and sloth trivia knowledge through an interactive “race to the finish.”
  • Discover what makes a species a good pet option, and learn why primates do not belong in your home.
• Can’t join us in person? Check out Zoo Atlanta’s social media networks for a special GLT Day takeover.
• Show you’re a conservation hero year-round with the purchase of an Animal Awareness Day tote bag!
  • Use provided fabric markers to decorate and make your bag unique.
  • All proceeds go to the Zoo’s conservation fund that allows us to help animals in the wild and their habitats by partnering with organizations like the Golden Lion Tamarin Association.

Activities are free for Zoo Atlanta Members and children under 3; free with general admission.
