Effective tomorrow, March 17, 2020 and until further notice, the Topeka Zoo will be transitioning to Level 2 of its Covid-19 Protocol. While the Zoo will remain open to the public, all of the public buildings will be closed. One public bathroom will remain open and will operate on an every other hour disinfection schedule. For the time being, the Zoo will operate as an open air park.
“The Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center is a valued asset in our community,” said Zoo Director Brendan Wiley. “For those of us that work here, we deeply care about our animals, guests, volunteers and coworkers. We realize that we are living in an unprecedented situation. We want to assure you that as we go through this situation, our animals, guests, volunteers and coworkers are our top most priority.”
In efforts to help keep our community connected to the Zoo during these uncertain times, also beginning tomorrow at 2:00 each day, Zoo staff will post on its Facebook page a story about one of the animal residents that lives here.
