Virginia Zoo Opens

June 28, 2020 by Wayne Creed 1 Comment

The Virginia Zoo opened its gates to the public on June 25 with some modifications and a new schedule.

During its first stage, the zoo has implemented some changes to its operations:

  • The zoo will limit capacity – about 25 percent of its normal visitorship – to ensure no overcrowding. All tickets must be bought and reserved in advance for a specific time slot – this even applies to zoo members. Reservations are available beginning at 10 a.m. with the last reservation at 3 p.m.
  • The zoo will be open to the public and its members, Thursday to Monday. Tuesday and Wednesdays will be for members only. The hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and reservations are required.
  • Tickets and reservations will be available, Tuesday, June 16 at 10 a.m. and can be made up to two weeks in advance.
  • The zoo will be a one-way, one-mile loop. This includes Asia, the Animal Wellness Campus, Africa and Flora Point. Food and beverages can be purchased throughout the zoo, strollers and wheelchairs will also be available for rent on a first-come, first-serve basis. Run Wild! Nature Play will be open for visitors to enjoy. Some amenities and exhibits will be temporarily closed, including the World of Reptiles, ZooFarm, ZooTrain, Enrichment Playground, Gift Shop, Water Plaza and Membership Office. Keeper Chats, ZooLive! Stage presentations and other animal encounters will be postponed.
  • To help ensure the safety of all guests, and to comply with all state and local regulations, all zoo staff and volunteers will be required to wear masks. Per mandated regulations in Virginia, all visitors ages 10 and older will be required to wear a mask upon entry into the zoo, indoors or when within 6 feet of those from a different group. Increased cleaning protocols have been mandated and hand sanitizing stations will be located throughout the zoo.

    I can’t wait to go back to the Zoo. I miss the Animals. I don’t mind buying a ticket in advance to get in the Zoo. 😁
