Our Commitment Regarding the COVID-19 Virus
We anticipate reopening on Monday June 1st, 2020 at 9:30am. For the foreseeable future we will be open daily from 9:30am-4:00pm, and our mid-season rates will remain in effect. When planning your visit to the BC Wildlife Park, please understand that we’re working through a new ‘normal’ alongside our guests, and your visits will likely look a bit different than what you may be accustomed to.
To ensure that we are continuing to do our part to prevent the spread of covid-19, we will not be offering wheelchair / stroller / wagon rentals. Although the indoor galleries will be open, the Wildlife Rangers Pin Program, Zookeeper feed talks, animal encounters, and bird of prey flight demonstrations will not be a part of our programing this summer. At the moment the Wildlife Express Miniature train will not be operating, and due to the required close proximity to our team during VIP Experiences, VIP Encounters, and Birthday parties, those experiences will not be available. The Blue Heron Café will be open for take-out orders only, and we will be limiting the number of guests in our gift shop as well. After careful consideration to ensure we provide ample space to maintain social distancing, we will ensure the total number of guests inside the Park does not exceed 1,000.
On behalf of the wildlife in our care, our team, and all of our loved ones – if you are feeling unwell or experiencing any covid-19 symptoms, please postpone your visit.
For those of you that are unable to visit the BC Wildlife Park in person, we will continue to provide weekly Facebook Live Zookeeper Feed talks, as well as our virtual educational programming and encounters.
We’ve missed seeing you, and we are elated to welcome you back – see you soon!
Respectfully yours,
The BC Wildlife Park team
