Woodland Park Zoo to remain open this holiday season

The Woodland Park Zoo will remain open this holiday season while following new guidelines from Governor Jay Inslee.

The zoo has already been operating at under 25% capacity to assure social distancing and has many enhanced safety protocols in place including mask requirements, one-way paths, and frequent cleaning.

All indoor food services will be closed through December 14, 2020, although grab-and-go and outdoor food options will be made available during operating hours.

The ZooStore will also be limiting capacity to 25% in compliance with new retail restrictions.
