March 25, 2020
Riverbanks Zoo and Garden will remain closed to the public through April 30 following guidelines from state and federal leaders to encourage social distancing and help slow the spread of coronavirus in the community.
The Zoo and Garden is extremely grateful for the steadfast support of our members, guests and the community. The animals and plants at Riverbanks continue to receive the highest standards of care during this unprecedented time. Critical operations teams have been working diligently to provide vital care to our wildlife, habitats and infrastructure.
