gibbon conservation center印象

This is a nice little place to see some fun gibbons. They're extremely expressive and active. I could watch them all day.

This conservation center is a hop, skip, and a jump away from Magic Mountain. If you're in the area, or on your way to Magic Mountain, stop by and make a difference. The conservation center is open on Saturdays from 9:30 to noon. You can learn a lot about these endangered apes. The tour is super informative, and the staff is there to answer any questions you might have about the gibbons. The gibbons live in pretty spacious digs, and you'll see them swinging through their habitat. Learn about their familial units, and which gibbons are trying "dating" to be potential mates. The gibbons are active in the day, so you'll get to see them in action, and not just sleeping. If you're lucky, you might see a baby or two! The road to the conservation center is gravel, but you don't need a 4 wheel drive. Bring a hat and sunscreen, as you'll be in the sun walking around from habitat to habitat. Comfortable shoes are recommended; you'll be walking on dirt. Closed toe would be good as you need to step in a shallow pool of disinfectant before entering the center so the gibbons don't contract anything from us visiting! Restroom is a porta-potty. The center is very clean, and habitats doesn't smell like poo!

I just went to the Gibbon Conservation Center as an Assistant Caregiver for a Day, and I can't even describe how incredible it was. I fed the gibbons multiple times throughout the day, and being able to hand some of the gibbons food or have them take blueberries out of my hand was my favorite part. It was such a pleasure to learn about gibbons as a whole and each gibbon individually. The Gibbon Conservation Center does a lot with very little, and I was very impressed with their operation. I loved it, and I highly recommend it for animal lovers everywhere.

We have lived in Santa Clarita for 20 years and never visited the Gibbon Center until my son and daughter took me and my husband there for my birthday last May. It is in a quite isolated place but easy to find using the directions online. The guide for our tour was extremely knowledgeable and got these little apes to "sing" by playing back their singing on her laptop! What a concert. The gibbons seemed well taken care of even though they were in cages. They have been rescued so a great deal of effort is being made to fundraise to support them well. Most come from SE Asia where we will be visiting next November so I was very glad to learn more about these special animals before our trip.

These are such cute primates... they are amusing, darling, and interesting. They 'sing' loudly in a simulataneous outbreak of barking, melodic chanting or maybe just loud Gibbons conversations about the humans visiting them. Some of these small Asian primates are endangered at this point. Many of the Gibbons there were grouped in enormous cages as a family. They are active and practically fly across the tops of branches. One stuck his hand out and around the padlock and jiggled and worked it like he was going to break out. It is a small property nestled in the mountains, so it takes a good while to drive out there and you can spend only an hr or so. You can go a scenic route one direction and the highway the other if you have the time. The scenic route is a wild, winding mountain road with incredible views. Bring water with you - no food sold. Great family half day trek but only open to the public on Sat. mornings.

A one of a kind place to learn about the smallest member of the ape family as they live in family units. Friendly and knowledgable folks with a passion for their work.

I took my children here for the first time after living in the area for over 20 years. It was a great learning experience and the kids loved all of the howling Gibbons

It's hard to believe this place exists in SCV. If you haven't experienced going it's worth your time. Help support this center. What a great cause and dedicated people. A wonderful experience for children of all ages.

Be sure to go at 10 am so that you can catch the docent led tour. You will have a much greater appreciation for the Center's work and for the personalities of the gibbons. Such a great place to visit.

Spend an afternoon getting closer to nature and learning about the Gibbons! The GCC offers the visitor all the information you could expect to find about the Gibbons. There are many different varieties there and the kids will love the cute little guys.
