The people running the Oregon Zoo clearly love and care for their animals, and they've also found creative ways to ensure visitor safety while we navigate the pandemic. Their educational programs and live interactive Q&A videos were a bright spot during the time they (and most other venues) were closed, so it is great to have an opportunity to visit in person now. As of August 2020, the public can reserve tickets for specific entry times on the zoo website up to 10 days in advance. I believe advance ticketing is a requirement at this point. Masks are also required, and there is one way foot traffic on the zoo grounds. I felt very safe spending the afternoon there. I look forward to returning soon, as well as later once the enclosed exhibits re-open post-covid. I feel good supporting the zoo, knowing they stand for both conservation and education.
