The Los Angeles Zoo reopened on Tuesday, Feb. 16, more than two months after closing its gates due to statewide stay-at-home orders spurred by the coronavirus pandemic.

The zoo will continue to provide a safe, modified experience for its guests that conforms to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s safety protocols for zoos that includes limited capacity, timed-ticketed entry for all visitors, including GLAZA members, closure of indoor and high-touch spaces, such as the Papiano Playpark, requirement of face coverings for everyone 2 years old and older and supplemental signage throughout the zoo.

Other changes include hand sanitizer stations throughout the zoo, some pathways being designated as one-way traffic to allow for physical distancing, physical distancing reminders, like “Remember to keep a zebra’s length apart,” closure of indoor dining, closure of indoor and enclosed exhibits and temporary suspension of in-person talks, presentations and events.
