Important Zoo Updates
What You Need to Know
Black Bear Viewing Impact
Our black bears will be intermittently off-view between Tuesday, October 6, and Friday, October 23, as shingles are replaced on the viewing areas. Thank you for your understanding.
Mulch Work
Habitats around the zoo will be receiving fresh mulch on Thursday, October 8. Our lemurs, lions, red river hogs, and wood bison will be temporarily off-view as mulch is added to their habitats. Thank you for your understanding.
West Entrance Closure
Due to significant construction activities in and around Imagine Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
