During summer quarantine there hasn't been many places I have felt comfortable going. I decided to purchase an annual family membership (awesome value) and check out the zoo. They have timed tickets, where you choose the time slot you go in to the zoo, and the website shows you how many tickets they have left for that slot. That last feature is nice because you can choose a slot with few people. Also if you go early there's not too much heat, and the splash pad is not too full. As for the animals you can probably walk the whole property in an hour, it's not a very large zoo. Highlights include the herpetarium (snake house), the black bears, giraffes, and rhino. The giraffe feeding is open (5$ cash or credit) . There's also a nice playground with plenty of hand sanitizer stations and clean restrooms, and snack booths. They also sell Sonny's BBQ near the splash pad.
