King County All Clear

We've taken steps to ensure everyone stays healthy

  • Face coverings are required for Zoo entry for ALL people ages 5 and up , as well as in all indoor and marked areas.
    Required for unvaccinated guests in ALL areas.
  • Even though we already had them, we've added even more hand sanitizing stations.
  • You'll find signage all over the zoo promoting excellent hygiene and reminding you where a mask is required.
  • Zookeepers love to clean! We've increased the frequency of daily cleaning and disinfecting.
  • We still want you to learn something during your visit! To reduce crowding, Mini Lectures will happen throughout the day at random times.
  • We love to learn! That means our staff has ongoing education on COVID related best practices, which ensures we're all working as a team to promote your health.
  • We've got protocols in place to limit and monitor attendance to the Zoo. Don't worry, we still have room for you!
  • We're working to limit our interaction as much as we can. With online admission purchases, enjoy a contactless zoo entry.
