Rockhampton Zoo re-opens

ANIMALS and children will be reuniting following the announcement of the Rockhampton Zoo re-opening Saturday, June 27 — just in time for school holidays.

Announced by the Rockhampton Regional Council on June 23, the city zoo imposed several restrictions upon reopening last month, including social distancing, no more than 200 people in the grounds at one time, and contact information required for entry.

Excitement spread across social media following the announcement, with messages of support posted on the zoo’s Facebook page saying, "I'm so excited" and "This made my day."

The Rockhampton Zoo encourages all visitors to download the CovidSafe app to ensure maximum safety.
