Oakland Zoo is closed and will be unable to reopen until January 17th, or possibly later, due to a damage caused by the historic and unprecedented amount of rainfall over the weekend of December 30th.
Currently, we are working to repair a major sinkhole at the entry road to the Zoo that has made our entrance impassable to vehicles, thus prohibiting guests from safely entering the Zoo.
All animals and staff are fine and remained safe during the extreme weather. While closed, Zoo staff will continue to be onsite to take care of the animals, provide maintenance needs, and conduct clean-ups from damage caused by the rain.
Guests with reservations, at any time between today and January 17th, to visit the Zoo or attend Glowfari, will receive an email about receiving a refund for their tickets. Currently, it is not possible to make reservations for future dates. Once reopened, we may be able to extend the popular Glowfari event into February, and will announce soon.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and we look forward to seeing you, as soon as possible, at the Zoo!
