San Diego Zoo and Safari Park starting June 15

[cmwade77]

I just got this email from the San Diego Zoo:

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that beginning on June 15, and in accordance with state and local guidelines, we will be lifting most COVID-19 restrictions:

Date-specific reservations are no longer needed! If you already have a reservation, it will still be honored and there is nothing further you need to do.
Health screenings prior to guest entry will no longer be required, which will free up parking space and reduce wait times. Proof of vaccination will not be required upon entry.
Facial coverings will no longer be required on grounds. Those who are not fully vaccinated are recommended by the CDC to wear facial coverings.
Special experience tours will no longer be limited to household groups, allowing for individual pricing and greater availability.

We are delighted that the Guided Bus Tour and Kangaroo Bus are reopening at the Zoo

My apologies for any formatting issues, I am copying and pasting the email on my phone.

This is the first So Cal park I have seen provide this much information, hopefully others follow soon.

We are going in August, so this is exciting! It’s not a theme park, so its rules are a bit different.

Actually, the rules are the same after June 15th, the only requirement for zoos and theme parks is that they recommend (not require) you are vaccinated and that they offer free face masks for anyone who wants them upon entry, at least that is what the state says for June 15th on at the moment.

Disney is too stupidly bloated and convoluted of an organization to get anything done in a timely matter:

Disney World just announced masks are optional everywhere but transportation for the fully vaccinated as of June 15....timing is too coincidental.....guessing we will hear something on the 14th.

Two exhibits open on June 15th, the rest is still scheduled for later this year sometime.
