They are encouraged to be worn inside buildings and when in close proximity to other guests, staff members, and animals. Masks are still required to be worn by all guests who are participating in any encounters with the zoo's otters, primates, red panda, or cats (jaguars, cougars, bobcat, and ocelot). *Please bring your own face mask.
