NINE WAYS YOU CAN HELP YOUR NORTH GEORGIA ZOO

3/26/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Like so many small businesses, the North Georgia Zoo is experiencing a financial hardship due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Here are nine ways to support North Georgia Zoo during this difficult time.

1. Purchase Zoo Gift Cards on our website (www.northgeorgiazoo.com) that you can use at a later date.
2. Visit our online store and purchase apparel or toys.
3. Join others who have already given to the zoo through our Go Fund Me campaign. The link is on our website home page.
4. Are you creative? Do you have products you would be willing to auction off and donate proceeds to the zoo?
5. Donate time to pick up supplies for us while you’re at the grocery.
6. Check with your local grocery stores in your area and see if they have any day- old produce or foods they would be willing to donate to the zoo and pick that up for us.
7. Purchase a zoo membership on our website.
8. Reserve an Animal Experience or Wildlife Walk. (These activities are following strict CDC and Georgia government guidelines regarding crowd size and social distancing.)
9. Any other ideas you have time to implement that can generate income to help the zoo at this time would be appreciated!
Our prayers go out to all those affected by this situation. Please know we are in it with you!
Thank you!

North Georgia Zoo to Limit Offerings to Private Reservations

3/26/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has issued new guidance concerning the COVID-19 virus. In his press conference on March 23, he directed groups to limit their size to no more than 10 people, with six feet of social distancing between them at all times.

North Georgia Zoo will limit its offerings so that it may abide by these directives. In order to do this:

1. All activities will be BY PRIOR RESERVATION ONLY. In this way we can keep our crowd size to under 10 people. Reservations will be accepted only on our website at www.northgeorgiazoo.com.
2. Animal Experiences will be limited to one group per experience. We will not mix guests with other guests outside their own group. This will prevent cross contamination with other groups.
3. Wildlife Walks will be limited to 10 guests at a time. Social distancing will be maintained during these tours.
4. Reservations can be made for Sunday-Saturday, 11:00-3:00 daily.
5. Zoo employees are continuing to implement enhanced cleaning and sanitizing practices at the facility. Hand sanitizer is readily available to guests at several areas around the zoo.

NORTH GEORGIA ZOO IS OPEN!

3/12/2020

In the wake of the international outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the North Georgia Zoo is open. We are closely monitoring the situation and are using an abundance of caution as we navigate this health crisis. The wellbeing of our staff and our guests is of utmost importance, and we are taking steps to ensure that the zoo continues to be a safe place.

North Georgia Zoo staff are following the guidelines set out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta (CDC), including guidelines about hand washing and cleaning. We will continue to watch the situation daily and follow the recommendations of the CDC, as well as state and local health agencies.

Concerning animals, the CDC website states, "There is no reason to think that any animals including pets in the United States might be a source of infection with this new coronavirus. To date, CDC has not received any reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19. At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals including pets can spread COVID-19. However, since animals can spread other diseases to people, it's always a good idea to wash your hands after being around animals. "

For up to date information about the status of North Georgia Zoo during this outbreak, please visit our website at www.northgeorgiazoo.com.

For more information about COVID-19, please visit www.cdc.gov.
