On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the zoo will return to its regular hours, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., according to a news release.
The zoo said this will be "something new for our animals" and because of their feeding schedules, some animals may not be out during the evening hours. Which animals that may apply to was not detailed in the release.
Stingray Bay, splash pads, the 4-D Theatre and carousel will be open.
