*Weather-related Closures
On rare occasions, the zoo may have to close because of ice, snow
or other weather-related conditions. We will always attempt to
post such closures on the front page of the web site. However
we may not be able to make it into the office to do so!
For the
most up-to-date information on weather-related closures, call
the zoo at 503-226-1561.
