At this time the zoo will remain closed thru Friday due to weather and unsafe walking paths. In the event we can get the parking lot cleared which has been impossible even with our equipment we may open by the weekend but it will just be the indoor reptile houses if we do at a discounted rate. All the zoo animal are safe and tucked in nice and warm and are being taken care of 24/7 with hourly checks thru the night to make sure heaters are all working and buildings are kept nice and warm! For anyone calling the Zoo, please understand that we are not able to answer the phone throughout the day as we’re working in very cold conditions and don’t want to take our hands out of our gloves. Please leave a message and we’ll get back to everyone as soon as we can during warm up breaks. Please everyone stay safe and warm!

Thank you
