Prospect Park Zoo to Reopen

The Prospect Park Zoo is planning to reopen on July 20. Forced to close due to the pandemic, the zoo has been shut since March. 

Initially, until July 23, the zoo access will be for members only. After that point, anyone will be able to buy a ticket and go.

The zoo which was founded in 1935 has 176 different species of animals including red pandas and emus on its 12 acre campus. A popular attraction among visitors is the sea lion show and feedings.

When the zoo reopens, masks will be required.
