AquaZoo opens May 11 to season ticket holders

AquaZoo Leeuwarden can open its doors to season ticket holders as early as Monday, May 11. One week later, on May 18, everyone is welcome again. To guarantee maximum capacity, visits are only possible after online registration. AquaZoo was able to make this decision today after consultation with the Safety Region.

The Frisian zoo has been preparing for its reopening in recent weeks and is all set to welcome guests again. "We have designed the park so that both visitors and employees can have a very nice day in a good, safe and responsible way within the rules of the one-and-a-half-meter society," says general manager Jeroen Loomeijer.

Prepared

The park closed its doors on March 14 due to corona measures. In the intervening weeks, the zoo prepared for the one-and-a-half-meter society. For example, a maximum number of visitors has been set. The number of people who can visit the park will be incrementally increased in the coming period.

Visitors can only enter after registering online. In addition, to prevent too many people from being at the entrance at the same time, time slots will be used, including for season ticket holders and people who have purchased tickets through promotional partners. This reservation itself, of course, costs nothing. "And once you are inside, you don't have to look at your watch," assures Loomeijer. "There is no maximum time on a visit. So visitors can enjoy the park and the animals at their own pace."

Crowd managers

To ensure that everyone can keep enough distance, the walking route in the zoo has become one-way and specially appointed crowd managers will see to it that no group formation occurs. There will also be no feeding demonstrations for the time being and indoor enclosures such as stables are still closed. The terraces will remain closed for a while, but visitors can pick up food and drinks. Sanitary facilities are also open.

Loomeijer: "We are convinced that with these modifications, visitors can have a very pleasant, safe day out here and fully enjoy the animals and this beautiful, spacious park."
