We’ve been waiting to say those words since we closed our doors on March 17th, and we are thrilled to once again be open, albeit with enhanced sanitary protocols!
First and foremost, a huge THANK YOU to YOU – our members, guardians, donors, visitors, volunteers, and board of directors — who have contributed so much in numerous ways during our closure. And, secondly, we must thank again our amazing staff who daily cared for the Zoo’s animals, no matter what. It is because of everyone’s collective efforts that the Zoo’s nearly 2,000 animal residents remained safe, healthy, and vibrant!
As you return to the Zoo, you’ll encounter new operating procedures (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=7b61901043&e=7683a9aed3) to keep everyone safe and healthy during the ongoing COVID pandemic. Face coverings for those over 2 are now mandatory, and online reservations are required to enable social distancing within the Zoo’s 100-acre outdoor setting. No onsite ticket sales are available, and all indoor spaces are closed. You will see signs posted throughout the Zoo reminding you to “keep at least a grizzly bear distance away” from other visitors, and we’ve created one-way paths in some areas to avoid touching potential high-contact surfaces, so please stay safely behind the red lines. Moreover, we are limiting our daily attendance by 50% or more to allow visitors to relax and enjoy re-connecting with their favorite animals and serene gardens.
All of us at the Zoo take our role as a community educational and recreational resource very seriously, and we are honored to observe happy families once again spending quality time together in a safe and fun environment. More importantly, we continue our commitment to conserve wildlife beyond the Zoo’s 100-acres. From dolphins swimming in the canals of Venice to the coyotes roaming in downtown San Francisco, we have been given a window into how the world can look if we embrace environmental conservation.
So as we celebrate the re-opening, we assure you that the SF Zoological Society will bring forward its mission of the 3 Cs — to connect people with wildlife, inspire caring for nature, and advance conservation action – working together to create a better world for all!
