Great day trip. Everyone wore their masks and it was super clean. Highly recommend it to all animal lovers.Side note: wear comfortable shoes!

Had a nice day at the zoo on Wednesday. Due to COVID, some food vendors are closed and a few exhibits are undergoing renovations, but we still saw a lot of our favorites! Got a hot cocoa as soon as we walked in and it kept us toasty til we were ready to stop exploring for lunch. The Tram in the middle of the zoo wasn’t running, but the Tram from Africa to N America was and we were thankful! Lots of walking but so much fun!

So cool!!! Great views of animals in GIANT habitats. Easy walking path get you everywhere. Plenty of clean restrooms and benches. During COVID park is very pro-mask, but there are a few no wearers who slip through. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

An overall great experience! Staff was friendly and the zoo was very clean. Everyone was maintaining social distancing and wearing masks! My family and I will be coming back soon!

Normally I would give this do a five but since it’s been open during quarantine they’re not hardly any staff requiring people to wear their mask only at the exhibit where the animals are there was literally a group of 16 wearing no mask didn’t even have one I had to cover my eight month old child up because I was scared like it’s a common sense if you book the tickets were a mask and if you can’t follow directions then you don’t need to come to the zoo I believe that there needs to be more in forcing! I thought buying tickets and being a limited amount people would be adults but ignorant always shows through!

Great zoo! It is the largest in the country... But dont let that deceive you as it definitely does not have the most amount of animals/species. North Carolina is a state full of forest. This zoo has a massive amount of land. Wear comfy shoes!

Second time visit. We had a great time here! The price is reasonable. We spent about 4 hours to finish the whole zoo. Sorry that we didn’t manage to see polar bear this time. Hope to revisit next year.

This was the first time in years of coming to the zoo that all of the animals were out. There were 6 markers so people could maintain social distancing at observation points and hand sanitizer stations for high touch areas. Staff made visit even more pleasant.

The NC Zoo in Asheboro is one of the best places to go with your family, even during the current pandemic. They have great structures and procedures in place to help keep everyone safe. Masks are mandatory, and distancing is suggested. Also, their route through the zoo is designed to keep the flow of traffic moving in one consistent direction. Theyre also requiring reservations to keep the crowd size down.The animals are tons of fun, the play areas are tons of fun for the kids, and its a great way to get in your exercise for the day! The food is a bit pricey, but definitely delicious!

Wow! I knew NC had a zoo but I live in Durham and was never motivated to make the short roadtrip to check it out until recently. So worth the drive! Its hours upon hours of walking some of the most beautiful grounds and seeing a wonderful variety of animals in well kept habitats. There are tons of safety protocols in place to keep families from being all on top of one another during Covid, including timed entry and one-way markings to keep you going in one direction, plus hand sanitizing stations at almost every turn. Bring comfortable walking shoes, water and snacks. Its a fun, fantastic way to wear a little one out. We will be back!

Absolutely fabulous. You must do the ride and a guide tour for up to 4 people..worth every single penny. Karen the tour guide knew every single inch of the zoo and was remarkable, informative and just a pleasure. Cant wait to go back again. P.S. the tomato basil soup was to die for..great chef there too.

Great zoo, well organized. Halloween theme.Tickets to be bought online with time slots.Great climate. Enter only through North America side.

80% closed. Masks and reservations required. My daughter loved seeing other happy children.

It was a great family experience. Even with the Covid going on there was still plenty to see. I was a little upset about some of the attractions being closed or empty but understood with this cold weather. Cant Wait To Go Back!

This may be my new favorite zoo. The grounds are beautiful and laid out over a 2.5 mile path (5 miles total) - and there’s trams if you’d rather not walk. The grounds for the animals are extensive and very well done.

Great zoo. I love that you walk all the way through it and can ride a tram back to the entrance. The exhibits are big and beautiful. It was a cool day(beginning of November) so the animals were out and about and curious about the people. It was great!

We went to the NC Zoo in Ashboro, NC last week and had a fantastic time! Being able to watch the animals in a natural habitat enable us to learn and enjoy different behaviors of the animals. The animals were very active and gave us some fantastic shows!!

Even with Covid 19 wreaking havoc the NC Zoo delivered a great experience in a safe way! Really love this place. The animals always look happy and not stressed. They have lots of room too.

Being the largest natural habitat zoo in the world all the animals have lots of room to roam and be free. You just walk about and explore the zoo at your own pace. Countless places to sit down and relax in the shade and all the employers are so friendly and informative! So relaxing... definitely do not want to miss this its incredible.

Absolutely beautiful! The environment was wonderful. The entire place is great with space and good food too!! Wonderful place to visit with the family but heads up, it is a lot of walking.

Beautiful zoo. Well spaced out with large enclosures for the animals. Eveeything is very clean. Lots of food options. Tram to take you from front to back. Wear comfy shoes!

First time I had been to the NC Zoo in 20 years probably. Did not disappoint. Still got to see a good variety of animals and displays despite COVID. I would definitely say they are doing the best they can given the present conditions. We will definitely plan to return and may even consider a membership. Thank you to the hardworking staff and volunteers!

Best zoo on the planet. The animals have incredible habitats. There is enough here to entertain you for a whole day, easily, and its a great place for kids. I practically grew up in this zoo. Its still one of my favorite places.

Wonderful day at the NC Zoo! Weather was perfect! The off-season/COVID-19 rules do hamper the experience quite a bit. The zoo is expanding and working on several habitats in the park... so the normal experience has changed. All inside areas were closed: Otters, Ice Cave, Sealions, etc...

Amazing Zoo! Had no idea it was so huge! Did not plan for nearly enough time!Up nice and close to the animals and large habitats for them to enjoy. Lots of bears - all kinds! Fascinating! Especially the Polar Bear! Will return!

Disappointing. A good many exhibits are closed. Was looking forward to an exciting day with the grand kids. I understand the animals are not out front on display but it was a nice day no rain and very few animals to be observed. After walking from the parking to Africa you had to walk back to the middle of the zoo to get a tram back to the parking lot. Really! To much for an old man

Best zoo in the area. Much better than the Columbia Sc zoo. They take very good care if their animals. Love this zoo.

What a beautiful day to visit a zoo. Friendly staff. Currently you need to purchase the tickets on line for the hour period you want to enter the zoo. Looks like 300 people per period. One way to walk around the zoo.Favorites were the polar bear, seals, red wolves and of course the bird aviary.Yes mask required. Food stands open. Hand sanitizer throughout the park. Enches are open for sitting right now. Which for someone like myself and our one friend was a welcome sight. You get the shuttle back to the entrance. Large gift shop.

It was exciting and fun with my boys. Great day for family fun and learning!

They are doing a great job managing through Covid. This is a great option for families right now. The staff is super friendly.

Huge place, lots of animals, but also lots of walking - which is fine, just be prepared to walk a long way with inclines etc. Great one way flow most places, saw employees cleaning often, several restrooms throughout. As to be expected several of the animals werent visible, but still lots were. Well have to visit again to see the ones we didnt get to see. Overall great experience, and nice facilities.

Wonderful place to go out on a date and walk in the sun, or find family outside time. The American side was beautiful, parts were closed due to Covid. Cant wait to return and see the African side. The cougars were so majestic.

Loved it! My family and I really enjoyed our visit. Make sure you have your walking shoes because there is plenty of to be able to see everything.

They did a pretty good job of making it safe with one way walking trails and use of masks when in line etc. My. Only issue is the one way tram service only. You have to walk the entire park and it was just too much for us, then at the end you can get a tram back to the entrance. But it was fun, clean, and almost all the walking trails are shaded.

A wonderful place to visit. Theyve done a great job of ensuring safety during covid.

Awesome, they do a good job of making sure people social distance, they also have hand sanitizing stations everywhere throughout the zoo. Enjoyed the experience.

I have not been to the zoo in years! Ive definitely noticed some major changes and some new additions to the zoo. There were quite a few things closed, but I noticed some new exhibitions being built during our visit. Most of the animals were out so we got to see them up close. The trails are pretty easy to walk and there are trams that take you to and from the entrances.

I had a blast here during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are staggering in groups so it is important you order tickets ahead. It was said that all inside areas were closed, but they had a guide to direct traffic and people enforcing masks. Overall my girlfriend and I felt safe for the most part and enjoyed seeing the wife variety of animals.

Wonderful place with excellent attractions. The animals look healthy and happy.... this is important to me. So enjoy!

We enjoyed our afternoon at the zoo although many exhibits were closed due to Covid restrictions. Make sure to buy tickets online before you go!

The zoo was actually very disappointing. They pride themselves on being the biggest, but realistically its the land thats huge which means a ton of walking, not more animals and exhibits. Ive been to much smaller zoos that were way more exciting and put together. We completed the entire zoo in roughly 2 hours. We only saw 55 animals excluding birds and snakes. That is pathetic. Some exhibits looked so unmaintained and many animals were alone, which is not what I like to see as far as keeping up animal morale. Some of the exhibits were not set up well for viewing. For example there are large boulders in the elephant exhibit that prevent you from seeing a large portion of where the animals go. That wasnt very well planned. I get that its October and during a pandemic right now, but Disney is thriving, restaurants are open. This is an outside open-air venue, and yet they have more than half the exhibits closed or under construction. Also they dont have signs telling you something it closed until you walk all the way up there and see its closed. Why wouldnt you put the sign at the beginning of the path? The tram wasnt running at the end, so you walk all that way and then need to double back half way through the park, to get a tram back to the beginning. It was a basic zoo. Nothing exotic. Nothing exciting. No great place to eat where you can see animals. Overall just disappointing and I wont be back.

I didnt realize it was the Largest Zoo in the world. It is a good place to take the family and also get some good walking in. My family couldnt experience the entire zoo because COVID-19. But we ended up getting the yearly pass because we plan on returning. You absolutely HAVE TO bring your family here, it is most certainly worth it.

Probably one of the best zoos Ive been in. The animals are extremely well cared for. The exhibits are beautiful. Be prepared to walk (we walked 5 miles today) up and down lots of hills. Definitely worth a trip there.

Edit: I loved this place as a little kid, and I still love it now. They are doing very good with the new covid mandates, and they clean the tram after every ride. Sorry I didnt leave my thought on here, but I came back because just a rating wouldnt give justice to how much I love this zoo.

Left our visit today feeling pretty sad for what we saw specifically in the lion/lioness and bear exhibits. Animals were showing signs of stereotypy, clearly lacking mental stimulation, the lioness was pacing back and forth in a bizarre way. Polar bear was the same. The swimming area was closed and the bear seemed hot and bored to the point of losing his mind. I don’t think I’ll bring my child here again, won’t support a business that is not properly caring for the animals.With that said, the zoo has nice enclosures, was pretty well organized and clean, and other animals like the rhinos, elephants and giraffes had large enclosures and seemed to be doing a lot better than the lions and bears.

It was awesome and they did best they could due to covid-19. Just wish other visitors were more considerate

The NC zoo is 65% closed its not worth the time or effort to go during these times. So sad that so many people are not respectful of your space during these times. When the zoo finally finishes the remodeling and the covid is a thing of the past it will be better hopefully....

Reservations are required to ensure appropriate social distance. Masks are also required and I recommend bringing water bottles. That said, the park is huge, very shaded with marked trails to ensure they keep crowds going in one direction. Inside exhibits are still not open and the tram does not go to Africa so prepare to hoof it if you want to see Africa.

Great time, but very odd that all playgrounds closed except one which was loaded with kids,Also its the forgotten things, at condiments station for plastic wear it was not individually wrapped, someone was coughing near it, these are the odd things about this time we are in.Animals were great. The shuttle guys were great with my husband whom was in a chair... thanks guys

Love it!!! Well organized. Everybody wear mask for protection. Excelent to walk some miles and enjoy the beatiful nature views

The zoo was great. Because of COVID you need a reservation but it actually kept the crowds down.

Was just a wonderful day. Brought the grandsons and everything went fantastic. The zoo was peaceful, most of the animals were active and the entire area was clean. There was some construction and am looking forward to seeing the new features. What an enjoyable experience!

Had an amazing time with family reasonably priced and so so fun!!

Very disappointed, at the way they treat their guests. Inhumane treatment of the people that help sponsor the animals by coming to see them. Our parties complaint was voiced, and absolutely nothing was done to remedy the situation.Cant say anything bad about the zoo animals. One of the best zoos that our friends and I attended. The variety of animals, their living conditions. Of course things can be done to make it better.It would have been an experience of a life time if it was not for the situation at the ticket booth and our party. Prefer luxury experience over a luxury place with very poor customer service. Will not be back even though it was an epic sight seeing experience.

Its a pretty cool place because for the animals I think this is one of the larger zoos relative to space the animals get to have. Has a decent array of animals but the small indoor areas are closed courtesy of a pandemic - so thats understandable. Get ready for some pretty sizable walking as well; its like one long track with the map (likely not handed out because of the pandemic so snap a shot of one when you arrive) showing the path to walk to see each of the animals.

Very large but walkable zoo. The different areas are well laid out, and theres a good variety of animals. My favorite is the elephant exhibit.Plan to spend an entire afternoon or more to cover everything. Also, make use of the tram to reduce the amount of walking needed.

The NC zoo is so lovely. They really work to make the exhibits more like the natural environment. There is so much more actual nature than man made environment that it is a very immersive experience. It is the largest zoo in the world, though, which means a lot of walking between exhibits. Youll need the trams. Other than that, its a great day trip. We love it.

They shouldnt be open and taking peoples money. Very few animals out and the stupidity of waiting in a crowd to enter makes no sense. Allow people to enter as they arrive and develop natural spacing between parties would be smart. Find somewhere else to go.

What a great ZOO! First time here with our family. We made/bought our reservations for 10 am, barely any wait in line. Due to Covid restrictions some of the attractions are closed. But most of the animal exhibits are open. There were water stations to fill up water bottles and some of the outdoor dining areas were open to eat/rest. Please make sure to wear your masks, I believe they do have masks to purchase if available. Overall our family had a good first time visit. Next time we will wait for cooler weather.

Great place to spend time. Well worth the walk, and has a lot to offer. The Kaleidoscope is where I spend my time the most. The best opportunities to take good photos, is in that exhibit. They offer really pretty butterflies.

First time visit. Drove in from Charlotte to find half of the zoo closed due to cold temperatures. So, tickets were half price. This seemed fair.However, the polar bears were also not out, the grizzlies were under renovation, bobcats were nowhere to be seen. I understand warm weather animals may need extra care in cold weather, but not the North American animals too. I was looking forward to polar bears in the cold weather.We were able to see cougars, seals, elk, puffins, bison, and arctic foxes. Everything else was closed temporarily, closed for the season, or just not out for public display. Maybe it’s better in the summer?

Was told we could not enter the zoo even though we had purchased tickets. Came from 8 hours away and the zoo does not realize that we do not need the zoo. It needs us to survive. I do not recommend coming to a place where politics fly in the face of doing right. I told them that it is their choice, it’s their prerogative to choose how to treat their visitors, they made their choice.I choose to do business at mom and pop businesses and with this attitude, I will take my business else where.Turns out the zoo animals get better treatment than the humans coming to visit them. What has this world come to?

We had lots of fun. This is my first time there my 2 year granddaughter loved the two cougars and all the playgrounds. The zoo was very clean also everyone who worked there were extremely nice.

Really enjoyable trip. Beautiful winding paths with a nice variety of animals in realistic and large habitats. They are staggering entry times and have zoo staff at the entrance to viewing areas to remind people to wear their masks. Not many food places open and they ran out of chicken nuggets by 2:30, so I would bring food to picnic.

Beautiful day and family loved the animals. Lots of interpretive signage. I was delighted with the statuary that was everywhere. We got to see the baby chimps and the polar bear in action. Even though zoo requires appointment for entrance, it seemed quite crowded. Staff seemed to be everywhere cleaning high touch surfaces but patrons pretty lax about masks. Trolley only goes from center back to entrance so you cant go directly to Africa. Long walk for little ones.

Thoroughly enjoyed the zoo. My family appreciated all of the precautions they are taking, and we still saw plenty of animals!

Despite large parts of the park being closed due to covid, I had fun

I love coming here for field trips! The whole zoo is kept clean, the animals are well taken care of, and I like how they have little mini restaurants at most junctions. The bathrooms are nice, and they have water fountains just in case. Had a great time every time I went! I love looking at the wolves as they are some of my favorite animals. They have quite a few viewing areas to pretty much ensure a nice view, unless the animals dont want to come out at all. I completely recommend coming here!

Theyre not kidding when they say this is the worlds largest zoo.... its one mile from one end of the zoo to the other. However, the animals have more than enough space to roam around, and you can even go on a ride through a field to see wild antelope and rhinos grazing. This place is more like a nature preserve than a zoo, and I love it. The only downside is that there are only species from North America and Africa, but animals from Asia like Tigers are on the way. Definitely worth the trip.

I came on vacation to North Carolina and decided to go to the zoo with my family. I drove almost 3 hours there and 3 hours back to get to and from the zoo. When we got there we were told that the zoo had closed early due to high winds. I drove almost 6 hours for no reason it was a waste of time. It would have been nice to get a call or email being told that the zoo was going to close. so We did not have to drive that far for no reason. Next time I come back to North Carolina I am not coming back to this zoo. It Would have been great to get a notification being told that the zoo was closing so I didnt have to waste 6 hours of my day driving there and back for absolutely no reason.

Great trip! Huge Zoo! We got to see a lot of the zoo but missed out on some of the cool things that they offer due to stupid corona virus but with the limited stuff we saw, it was still a great visit. Will definitely be back when things are back running normally. We took our 1 & 3 year old and they loved it. This is a great workout pushing strollers up and down the hills and walking ask over the park so be prepared to put in some steps! The polar bear, cougars, lions and giraffes were amazing!

This is one of the nicest zoos Ive been to. It was great not having so many people there. The enclosures and exhibits were really awesome.

Even with the precautionary measures for the pandemic (masks, reservations, certain exhibits closed) it was still a good time, and most people were following the rules.

We saw every animal this place had to offer. Every single enclosure had a critter present and it was so cool! We were in the 1:00 group and it might have been a product of feeding time, but all of the animals were present in their enclosures as we toured the park. Be ready for a bit of a hike, but know that its sooo worth it to see everything this place has to offer. Will be back for sure!

Best place for family time. This zoo is staying on the top of keeping visitors and staff safe during COVID-19, and still is so accommodating. They have tons of animals and you can enjoy watching animals and stay safe at the same time

What a beautiful zoo! The staff is wonderful. My daughter had surgery a few weeks ago and although she was cleared to go to the zoo the sun and walking got the best of her. She started feeling Dizzy and almost passed out. The staff was wonderful, picked us up in golf carts and drove us right to our car. We will for sure be back when she is ready.

Great place for the family..be ready to walk of course. Even during the pandemic restrictions it was still fun. Mask are required to entered but not enforced throughout. Of course common courtesy and respect for others should be practiced.

We had a grat time on spite closures and covid restrictions. There was still enough to fill a day!

We enjoyed it but still liked the Columbia Zoo better. I really wish the Indoor exhibits had been open but what can you do! it seemed like the enclosures were kind of small compared to the Columbia Zoo but yet they were very spread apart. maybe there is more that we didnt see behind scenes? idk!

Well done!I felt safe and comfortable here. For one entries are reserved based on time. Just showed my phone ticket and got in. Restrooms maintained well and neat. Dining areas are open and could eat outside. Wide range of animals to see. Be prepared to walk! Cant say enough about the awesome job staff are doing there. Staff out there at a lot of entry points to ensure face coverings, safety, giving directions or just plainly being warm and friendly. Such a nice time we had. As far as crowd goes its not very crowded, we had safe distance between other people and wasnt an issue.

If you’re looking for an urban zoo, this is not for you. I see a lot of comments complaining about walking, construction, etc. The NC zoo is a STATE OWNED zoo. This means that conservation and care for the animals comes first. Some exhibits are ACRES big and it can be difficult to see some animals, while others might be right up against the glass.With that being said, the zoo is still well laid out, and while Covid has changed a few things, during normal operations there is a frequent tram service to help get you from one side of the park to the other, as well as a shuttle bus between parking lots. When the zoo was founded, the main focus was on conservation of North American wildlife. And for as long as I can remember they’ve had a North America and Africa section. The zoo has an Asia section under construction as well as an Australia section in the works. Personally I’d highly recommend waiting in line for the aviary, by far worth it despite the limited capacity.Food is good, though as expected it is a bit overpriced, however they do not check bags or anything at the door so you’re more than welcome to bring your own items in. As some other comments have mentioned, CURRENTLY a lot of the indoor attractions are closed, with the exception of the aviary mentioned above, and the zoo has taken this as an opportunity to undergo renovations to many of its buildings. With an entry price of only $15, I would not go so far as to say it’s a waste of money to go right now, but if you find the trip a bit lackluster, I would highly recommend coming back in a few years when the Asia and Australia sections are open. The NCDOT has also constructed a direct access spur from the US 64 bypass which is nearing completion, making access to the Zoo much easier. Unfortunately you really do need a car to get here, once again, not an urban zoo like Riverbanks or the Smithsonian.

We were here early Sept. It was a blast! The animals were active and awesome! The staff were all very helpful and knowledgeable. The social distancing wasnt a problem even in the more heavily trafficked areas. Highly recommend.

The zoo was great!!! By scheduling appointment times in advance, the visit was not crowded and we were able to really enjoy our time here. The enclosures are clean and roomy and we saw most all of the animals. Remembering that these are animals and they are awake on their own time is important during any trip to a zoo. Two of the exhibits we circled back to after not seeing the animals the first time resulted in a great view of the animals.

Even tho covid has had made things harder for all. Asheboro zoo is still the best and doing all they can to make it amazing as usual

Decent zoo. Kind of sad most of the exhibits were closed. We spent a total of 2.5 hours here, but most of it was just due to walking around from exhibit to exhibit. If you’re looking for a good waking workout and don’t care too much about seeing animals, then this is for you. Not sure if it was because of COVID or the fall season that some exhibits were closed. Would consider returning on our next trip to NC if we can confirm more stuff would be open/more animals would be able to be seen.

The zoo was so beautiful and very friendly staff!

To be completely honest! It was not the best experience.... One- all the indoor exhibits were close, Miles of walking to no being able to see animals. Very Limited of what you could actually see. Two- some employees were very rude. I was not impressed at all. If your going to spend full price and wear a mask you should be able to to have the full zoo experience.I feel like it was a total waste of time and money.I will say however, we did feel safe. They had employees cleaning and of course us as a family kept out distance from other. Respected Other and They did the same!

Great setup where the animals have plenty of space but the are still able to be seen. Lots of walking areas as well as playgrounds.

All the animals were out and about this past Saturday. Everyone has to park and enter though the North America entrance. The tram is running only from the midpoint (top of Africa) back to the North America entrance (one way only). The only line we encountered was the Gorillas. However, 50 feet past the long line was another view point with up close Gorillas, so Im not sure what everyone was waiting in line for! The aviary and desert pavilion are still closed. Hadnt been in years and Im glad we went back!!!

Had a great time!! Wonderful place to spend a Sunday afternoon!!

We always have a great time. Weve had a zoo membership for years and v keep coming back. Its a large zoo so theres lots of walking (wear comfortable shoes) and lots of large habitats. That being said were often able to see most, if not all of the animals.

This doesnt have the large amount of animals that the San Diego or Columbus (OH) Zoo has, but this zoo really does provide a natural habitat for their animals. This is an understatement and they do a great job with this that I wish other zoos would take note of.NC Zoo is one of only two state supported zoos in the country. Cool.I mentioned the habitats and exhibits. The animals, particularly the large NA and African animals have a ton of room to roam. This is awesome. The other habitats are more of the same as they also make it as close to possible as its natural habitat. They really do a great job here. There is plenty of walking because of this. Get your walking shoes on.Parking is available in both NA and Africa. Tram stops throughout.Their eateries are slow and can be jammed and this is the only thing I find wrong with the zoo.NC does a fantastic job with the zoo.

Nice zoo! Its five miles around so bring your walking shoes...Beautiful plants & trees too

Great natural habitat zoo. Several exhibits were closed, but still a beautiful walk through the zoo. Unfortunately, though Covid rules were set, there was no enforcement. Little social distancing and several people without masks in relatively crowded parts of the zoo. Enjoyed the zoo, but we were a bit nervous about the people around us.

Enjoyed our first time visit.

I went to the zoo with my church! I learned new facts about different kinds of animals I never knew! I will come here again!

Absolutely loved it!!! My 3 boys was excited to see each and everything! Thanks for making something for all!!

The NC Zoo is great. Its spread out and theres lots to see. Obviously right now all the indoor stuff is closed due to covid, but theres still plenty of animals to see.Even if youre trying to go quickly through, its hard to spend less than 4 hours there, so keep that in mind when youre planning your visit. Bring plenty of water and dont forget your mask.

Our trip to the zoo was great, even with some exhibits being closed for Covid. The staff was incredibly dedicated to ensuring the safety of members and guests, bottle fillers were plentiful enough for a hot day of walking, and timed entry ensured there was often no one in close proximity between viewing areas. Unfortunately other zoo guests werent mindful about social distancing at the viewing areas, ignoring the markings on the pavement and crowding in close to see animals. Masks were at least plentiful. The only animals we didnt get to see up close were rhinos and lemurs. 5 stars for the zoo itself and the zoo personnel!

Excellent zoo...kudos to the team for safe set up during these tough times
