The new exhibit looks much better than the mock rock mess I expected. The zoo seems to be improving a ton with the closure of bad exhibits and the opening of new exhibits (i.e. Polar Bear, Penguin, and macaque).

The snow monkey baby has been named Obu. Hello, Obu: Lincoln Park Zoo's newborn snow monkey named after public vote | Chicago
I was here last week on Wednesday. Various disorganized, messy notes: Construction has already begun over the former Bear Line for the new penguin and polar bear habitats, and it looks like they will be marketed as two separate exhibits: Robert and Mayari Pritzker Penguin Cove and Walter Family Arctic Tundra. No other new details seemed available. As a consequence of this construction, the outdoor Savannah area for Regenstein African Journey is closed: the giraffes can be viewed indoors but the Ostrich have moved to the Antelope-Zebra Area, where I saw them. Never saw the other species in the Savannah habitat before, unsure where they are now. The new Japanese Macaque exhibit was a mixed experience. The habitat itself looked fantastic but the monkeys did not spend much time near the two main glass windows. We did get one treat: Obu and mom came right by the glass on their way to the Research Station! Is there more to the viewing experience of the exhibit? I had trouble navigating the new West Gate area, I did get a chance to see the aforementioned Chacoan Peccary at the Antelope-Zebra Area, as well as the Ostriches and Grevy's Zebras on three separate occasions. Regenstein Center for African Apes was very active and for the first time in years I saw gorillas outside - we also got to see the new baby right by the glass! Part of the area is roped off for privacy but little kids kept crawling under to glimpse her. The new Snow Leopard had signage up but did not see the animal. Who used to be in their exhibit at the Lion House? I didn't see the full set of exhibits this time. Did see the Pallas' Cat and Red Panda areas, although the new Red Panda was only sleeping in a tree. The lions spent almost the entire time in the doorway between their indoor and outdoor exhibits, visible through the openings. Inside the Lion House... the Tiger put on a big show for guests roaring and coming close to the front, and I got my first glimpse in years of the zoo's elderly Serval, including eating a meal and sleeping. At Regenstein African Journey, got to see the zoo's three Eastern Black Rhinoceroses, who were absent on my last few visits. Also inside, the Black-and-White Colobus Monkey were absent, but they were all in Primate House. EDIT: After checking the LPZ website, it looks like the Amur leopard is gone. No idea what happened here.

A bit late but I don't think a link has been shared to the zoo's Regenstein Macaque Forest website: Regenstein Macaque Forest Features an inside the enclosure panoramic view which I like.
