San Francisco Zoo Attempts to Reopen (Again) On July 15th
Originally scheduled to re-open on July 1st (and then paused by the city a few days before), the San Francisco Zoo is trying again and plans to reopen to the general public on July 15th. (Member preview days are July 13-14).
UPDATE: Gavin Newsom ordered indoor operations at zoos closed statewide on July 13th It appears everything is still on with the zoo reopening on July 15th and just indoor locations closed to the public.
