My 6/19/20 Visit FB Post: Celebrating Father's Day today at the zoo. Wonderfully remodeled entry, scheduled visit times to avoid too many at one time, great Lego-type block statues of animals, and new exhibits. We brought our masks, but outside people stayed well a part, workers spraying railings, order food online to pick up at entry gift shop, plenty of hand washing stations. They've put a lot of money and care into making it a safe and happy visit. I highly recommend visiting. Go online to get your tickets. Also, donate to their fundraising campaign if you are able.
