Woodland Park Zoo Plans to Keep Visitors Safe

Seattle, Wa. The Woodland Park Zoo has made some changes since reopening. Due to COVID-19 the zoo requires anyone above the age of 5 to wear a facemask at all times throughout the park. As well as having markers to make sure people maintain correct social distance. Other changes can be found in ticket purchasing and the duration at the zoo. The zoo is “strongly recommending you purchase ticket online in advance to your visit.” This to help with crowds and allows someone to go directly into the zoo. There are now “specific entrance times…guests and members should avoid arriving earlier than 5 minutes prior to their entry time, if you arrive early stay inside your vehicle”. The Woodland Park Zoo’s website states that “Woodland Park Zoo has been working closely with state and county health authorities to develop a new guest experience that meets Washington State guidance for reopening.” This partnership has led to changes in and out of the park to help ensure safety. For more information or FAQs about the new guidelines at Woodland Park Zoo you can visit the websites HELP page found here.

Woodland Park Zoo used to have daily programs to make visitor experiences even more interesting. Due to COVID-19 these programs will stop for the foreseeable future. The zoo wants to “invite you to enjoy one of our many virtual keeper talks and special video presentations.” These online events can be located here on the Woodland Park Zoo’s website. Some programs listed are Super Snack Time and Gorilla Family and Baby. There are also more interactive videos on the Woodland Park Zoo’s YouTube channel. The zoo has been uploading at least one video every day to help bring the experience of the zoo to you.

Woodland Park Zoo Mission Statement: 

Because human impact on this planet is so profound and pervasive, all wildlife and wild places are now in our care. What will we do with that responsibility: stand by or stand up? Now imagine what our influence can do if we choose to stand together for wildlife.
