Denver Zoo Opens New Wildlife Virtual Reality Experience
DENVER, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- One moment you're enjoying a leisurely stroll through Denver Zoo's 80 acres, the next you're surrounded by a troop of mountain gorillas in the lush forests of Rwanda's remote Volcanoes National Park. This sudden change of scenery is made possible by Gorilla Trek—a new virtual reality experience that transports the Zoo's guests and members to the native habitat of the endangered species. Guided by renowned primatologist Dr. Tara Stoinski, Gorilla Trek gives guests a 360-degree view of the troop's fascinating family dynamics, from adorable infants to intimidating alpha silverbacks, through virtual reality headsets and a motion platform seating.
