Today, the Saint Louis Zoo has announced Saturday, June 13, as its reopening date for the public.
As part of its commitment to the continued well-being of guests, staff and animals, and in an ongoing effort to assist the community in preventing the spread of COVID-19, the zoo has implemented enhanced protocols and procedures.
“I am excited to share the news about our reopening, and I hope everyone knows that the Saint Louis Zoo values safety,” said Jeffrey Bonner, president and CEO of the zoo. “I am amazed at the incredible care our staff has provided to the animals during this pandemic, as well as the diligent work underway in preparation to provide our guests with safe and memorable experiences.”
In order to better ensure good social distancing, the zoo will limit attendance and require timed, free reservations in order to enter. The zoo will be open seven days a week, and guests can make reservations at stlzoo.org, beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, June 8. The zoo also will provide a phone number for those unable to access the website.
The zoo will require all guests over the age of 9 to wear masks or other face coverings while visiting. Guests with preexisting health conditions unable to wear a mask or face covering for medical reasons are exempt. Guests are allowed to remove or lower their masks or face coverings when practicing good social distancing of six feet or more when eating or drinking.
