June 8th, 2020- Scovill Zoo re-opens for the season starting today for daily operation from 9:30 A.M – 6:00 P.M. with the last admission one hour before closing.
Special reduced ticket pricing for the month of June will be $5.00 per person (adult/child/seniors) due to the petting zoo and herpaquarium being closed because of COVID-19 restrictions. Zoo members are admitted free daily. Free admission days will be every Thursday, June 11 – October 8.
To avoid long lines and large gatherings, visitors and members are asked to adopt a new process of visiting the zoo by booking tickets online at scovillzoo.com or checking for available capacity by calling 421-7435 during open hours before attending the facility. Walk-ups will be limited. Additional zoo amenities including the Z.O.&O. Train and Endangered Species Carousel are closed until further notice.
The facility will open within the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) Phase 3 guidelines set for outdoor recreation. The zoo is encouraging guests to wear face coverings and avoid touching facility accessories.
