San Diego Zoo, Safari Park to reopen Saturday

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Zoo and San Diego Safari Park will reopen Saturday with limited shows, shopping, dining and transportation and a

vow to focus on safety.

Guests will be required to answer a few health questions before entering the parks. There is a mask requirement for guests and employees. Parks

will have signs reminding visitors to social distance.

Daily capacity will be limited and same-day reentry won't be permitted, the parks said. Reservations will be required for everyone older

than 2.

"Although your next visit might feel a bit different from your past treks through the Zoo and Safari Park, you'll discover there is still plenty to

see and do,'' a statement from the parks said. "Guests can once again experience wildlife with their families, stroll among diverse habitats, and

take part in fun, educational activities that bring us closer to the natural world.''

The announcement of the reopening was made Monday, hours after a regional stay-at-home order was lifted. The parks have been closed since a

state order went into effect Dec. 7.
