We've taken steps to ensure everyone stays healthy
- Times are changing! Pursuant with guidance from local health authorities, face coverings are no longer required in most areas. Regardless of vaccination status, masks may be required for certain Animal Encounters - bring one just in case!
- 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're working to limit our interaction as much as we can. With online admission purchases, enjoy a contactless zoo entry.
