Grand Opening of the NEW Front Entry

The Grand Opening celebration included a special ribbon cutting ceremony and a visit from two of the Zoo’s special animal ambassadors, Amiga the Shetland pony, and Nyota, our Nigerian dwarf goat.

The new area includes seven gates with new digital technology for easier access to the Zoo. With the new admission gates complex, the admission improvements give the Zoo the opportunity to be more efficient and guest friendly, whether selling a non-member a ticket or whisking an existing member through a “member’s only” gate. The new admission area will now streamline the front end of guest’s Zoo visits, giving them more time on Zoo grounds with family and friends.



Each of the first 100 Zoo guests to arrive this morning were entered into a drawing to win a Behind-the-Scenes Zoo encounter with their choice of the Zoo’s Grizzly Bears, Hippos, or Elephants. Congratulations to the Rash Family who won! They will choose which experience they would like to do with a total of 9 friends. (A value of $250).

Our winners!
