Good news for all friends of Frankfurt Zoo: A visit to this popular destination will be a little more relaxed from 15 June than in previous weeks. With some new relaxations, a little bit of normality is returning to Frankfurt Zoo. Thus, with the cat jungle, the bird halls, the giraffe house and the monkey enclosures, some animal houses will open again. Nevertheless, there will still be restrictions to ensure the safety of visitors, staff and, not least, the animals. For example, it is still essential to restrict access to the zoo so that safety distances can be maintained on the grounds. However, there is good news here too, as more people are being allowed into the zoo again.
"I am very pleased about the relaxation of measures at the zoo. You've seen in the last few weeks, people want to go to the zoo. The online tickets were always booked up quickly and days in advance. It is good that from next Monday the time slots for visiting the zoo and the visitor quotas will be extended. But it is also very important to me that the zoo entrance on Rhoenstrasse is reopened soon. I agree with Dr. Casares: Provided that the visitor guidance works well in the next few weeks and the general orders allow it, the entrance will be available again for ticket holders from 1 July," says Dr. Ina Hartwig, Head of Department for Culture and Science.
"We are very pleased that we can allow our visitors a little more normality again. Although some houses are still closed for security reasons, there will be plenty of time and quiet for animal viewing because of the limited number of visitors," said Zoo Director Dr. Miguel Casares.
