After shutting down its elephant exhibit, the Woodland Park Zoo is looking to remodel three acres of its park, and the zoo is asking its patrons to weigh in on what that remodel will look like.

The former Tropical Asia zone was used by elephants Chai and Bamboo before they were transferred to a zoo in Oklahoma City. Woodland Park is now considering exhibits to replace the display. The zoo does have a few ideas already: a mix of animals living together such as mouse deer, langur monkeys, gibbons, cattle herds, and turtles. There is even a notion of a walk-through bird exhibit.

But first, the park is asking the public to take a 12-minute survey to guide its remodel endeavor.

Survey participants will be eligible to win a $100 gift card or a one-year membership for two adults.

Take the survey here.
