Wake and bake with BBs, then breakfast from the Biscuitville drive through.
Nothing special but ok for fast food breakfast.
Next stop
Many of the zoo attractions were closed due to covid CDC restrictions, gate receipts/lack of attendance, new construction and upgrades to the
animal enclosures.
To control the masses, entry is scheduled. Our schedule was from 12:00 to close.
Mask required in line to enter and when in close areas such as the gift shop.
Once inside mask was not required although worn by about 50% of the people.
We rented an electric cart for my wife.
Indoor attractions aside from the main gift shop were closed. Outdoor congregating areas were few and limited to food, beverage and
restroom services.
Of the areas that were open, not many animals were active at the peak of the hot day.
The local fauna proved to be more active.
This is one of several that crossed the path.
The Wetlands are at the start of the zoo pathways.
There is a statue for the Carolina Parakeet.
By 3:00 were done and it still took an hour to get back to the front gate. Yes, Trolley and buss services within the zoo were
greatly curtailed.
This zoo has potential to be a great experience. I would return in better economic conditions.
I'm not disappointed that we went, it was still an awesome day together, and the flora and fauna we did see made it worth the trip.

Younger daughter: Dad, he's still picking his butt!
