The Angola colobus monkey habitat in Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s Gorilla Falls trail is currently under refurbishment. Let’s take a look at the latest update.

What’s Happening:

• On a recent visit to Walt Disney World, Laughing Place headed to Animal Kingdom to check on the latest construction updates around the park. 
• Currently, the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail is receiving a refurbishment on their Angola colobus monkey habitat. 

• Located in the Africa area of the park, the jungle-gym style area is covered in scaffolding, with the area completely blocked off from guest access by construction walls.
