Zoos in England will be reopening on Monday, and it seems people are keen to visit them 🦒
for the first time since lockdown, provided social- distancing measures are in place and indoor attractions remain closed.
Numbers of visitors will also have to be restricted, and the Regent’s Park attraction is ensuring customers maintain space by painting coloured paw prints on the ground to mark one-way systems.They added: ‘The sheer volume of people heading to our website has been so encouraging and we’re working to get all tickets processed as quickly as possible – it’s testament to how excited people are about finally being able to safely enjoy a great day out at one of our two zoos next week.
On Wednesday, the park’s boss Kathryn England said the team was ‘ready to go and really looking forward to welcoming people back’ after their finances struggled during the pandemic. Ms England described the zoo as ‘breathing a sigh of relief’ at the Government announcement that it could reopen. ‘It’s been tough, it’s been really tough through a financial lens,’ she said. ‘We’ve really drained down our savings.’
