Supporter Tours and Lunch Launch Experience Options
Supporter Tours are available for those interested in learning more about our work and are ideal for families, civic groups, clubs, or corporate retreats.
- $500 for 1-20 guests for the tour
- $35 for each additional guest (up to 60 guests total)
- A $25 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of request.
The tour is 60-90 minutes of walking around the Peachtree Habitat.
On the tour, guests will observe the chimpanzees through viewing windows as they roam the hills, trees, and climbing structures. The chimps have the freedom to run, play, visit with friends, find a quiet corner to relax, bask in the sun, or curl up in the shade. There is no guarantee that guests will see a chimpanzee, it is their choice to be seen to look at you too!
The Lunch Launch is available once per day at 10:30am, Monday-Saturday, March-November.
- $750 for 1-20 guests for the tour plus a Lunch Launch experience
- $35 for each additional guest (up to 30 guests total)
- A $25 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of request
The tour is 60-90 minutes of walking around the Peachtree Habitat; the Lunch Launch experience will immediately follow the tour for an additional 30 minutes.
For those who book the Lunch Launch experience, you will be escorted to the rooftop of the Chateau where you will help us feed the chimps lunch! All participants will need to wear gloves and a mask, which we will provide. Non-participants can watch but not touch the food.
Note that this area is on a third floor; an elevator is available to the second floor where the activity can be viewed, there are 12 additional steps to get to the launch pad.

This project would not be possible without our many generous individual supporters and volunteers. We rely on donations to fulfill our mission, including caring for our existing residents and expanding the sanctuary to accommodate those chimpanzees still waiting in the lab.
