Along with Discovery Den and the Extreme Screen Theater, are galleries that host rotating exhibits throughout the year. Chimpanzee Challenge swings into the first-floor gallery, giving visitors a fully interactive, life-size maze experience designed to teach visitors of all ages about what it takes to survive in the wild as a chimpanzee, to compare themselves with our closest relatives and to discover the serious threats primates are facing and how humans can make a difference. Developed in collaboration with world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute, this 2000 square foot maze journey spans four life cycle stages, from newborn to adulthood, enabling visitors to mimic chimpanzee behavior in tests of strength, agility, and communication. Through action and education, visitors will see through the eyes of chimpanzees, understand the difficulty of their situation, and be given the opportunity to make a difference. Throughout the museum, interactive kiosks allow visitors to learn about wildlife and conservation through video, animation and video games. Each of these exhibits and interactive elements communicates the museum’s mission to visitors through advanced technologies in compelling and dynamic forms. # # # A natural history and wildlife art museum, The Wildlife Experience is located at 10035 South Peoria St., Parker, CO., approximately five miles south of the Denver Tech Center and one mile east of I-25 at the intersection of Lincoln Ave. and S.
