Riverview Park And Zoo will close on Monday, they announced after the Ontario Government released new COVID-19 restrictions.
In a social media post on Monday, zoo manager and curator Jim Moloney, said the zoo would close as COVID-19 cases surge and Ontario re-introduces the modified stage two restrictions.
The zoo re-opened in November, after being open for scheduled tours only since July. The zoo was completely closed to the public from March 2020 until then.
In the social media post, Moloney said “We’re disappointed to have to close again, and hope to welcome out visitors back soon.”
