primate house

Zoo monkey exhibit

A primate house is a building at a zoo where monkeys, apes, and related animals are kept and displayed.

The term reflects older zoo architecture—enclosed structures with viewing areas and climate control for tropical species: The children pressed against the glass at the primate house, watching the gorillas.
