Official 4K Time-lapse: Brookfield Zoo Chicago’s Bramsen Tropical Forests

Watch the complete construction of Brookfield Zoo Chicago’s James & Elizabeth Bramsen Tropical Forests. For nearly two years, EarthCam documented Pepper Construction’s transformation of Bramsen Tropical Forests into one of the country’s largest and most advanced primate habitats.

This $66 million, nearly three-acre primate habitat features indoor and outdoor environments for gorillas, orangutans, and spider monkeys, including immersive viewing areas and naturalistic climbing structures. The habitat also expands conservation spaces like the new Gorilla Conservation Center and rooftop King Conservation Leadership Academy.
