Visiting during covid seemed iffy but it turned out to be a enjoyable time to go as it wasn't crowded and the exhibits were easier to view. It is a one way only set up, which appeared to be mostly followed by the crowd.
With the coronovirus you buy a timed ticket and have to enter during a half hour window. Then you have the entire day, if you want, before you have to go. So if you are expecting only a certain amount of people in the zoo at once, I don't think that's the case. Therefore I would recommend the morning if you are looking for less people. Although many were practicing social distancing it is practically impossible to always do, as although it's less crowded than normal it's still fairly busy.
We enjoyed the butterfly house and wild cats the best!
