The zoo will reopen Tuesday with more safety protocols to slow the spread of COVID-19. Masks are required for all adults and children 2 and older, and social distancing measures remain in place.

Guests are allowed to remove their face coverings while eating or drinking, but they may not move about while doing so and must maintain appropriate physical distancing.
