Houston Zoo closed again Tuesday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Zoo is closed again Tuesday because of an ongoing power outage.

The zoo said in a tweet that it’s running on generator power and that all the animals are healthy and being cared for by staff.

The issue also closed the zoo for the day on Sunday and Monday.

Ticket holders may reschedule their visit by emailing group.reservations@houstonzoo.org.

Members with reservations can choose to reserve another day.

While the zoo is normally open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., online reservations for timed tickets are required for all guests and members.

If you go, you must arrive at your reserved time slot to ensure capacity is not exceeded. Once you arrive within your designated time, you can stay at the zoo until it closes.

Last zoo entry on a normal day is 4 p.m.

You should also note that safety modifications have been made due to COVID-19, including free hand sanitizing stations along the path, at restrooms, and food locations. While food will be available for purchase, guests are welcomed to bring in their outside food and non-alcoholic drinks.

High-touch areas will remain closed. This includes the carousel and the water play.
