Love going to this zoo. Just a heads up if you are going to go, right now you have to have reservations. They limit attendance to 750 people a day. Search for the zoo and follow the links for the reservations. They go fast so log on early and at least a day or two before you want to go. A tip: if you are going with more than one person, you have to create a "family group" and list everyone that is going. I did not realize that and almost didn't get the three reservations I needed. None of the outdoor food stands are open during the week, only the weekend. The cafe is not open at all. You can pack snacks or a small picnic. Alcohol is not allowed.

Not all the exhibits are open and only one of the indoor buildings is open. There are still plenty of animals to see so it's still worth going. The penguins and the elephants were my favorite animals to see. There are several new exhibits under construction, not sure what animals will be in them; but some new animals are coming!

Masks and social distancing are mandatory. Hardly saw anyone not wearing their mask. Did not see many employees out walking around and the few I did see, they didn't seem to be enforcing the rules. There is plenty of room throughout the zoo to keep social distance, you may come upon small groups of people around some of the exhibits. There are hand sanitizer displays all around but the two I tried either were out or weren't working.

If you are looking for a nice family getaway, you can't beat this zoo.
