I wouldn't know because it's impossible to get in with their stupid ass ticketing system that lets people reserve six tickets not use them and block everyone else, while only releasing a small subset at exactly specific intervals ahead of time.

It's stupid in general that the zoo now requires reservations for literally an outdoor activity with almost unlimited space.

Fully agree space was such a non-issue in other years I have no idea why they created the system

Limited staff = limited visitors / no people going to the zoo during covid = limited staff = why the system was created

No one was checking tickets to get in (at the bottom of the hill by Amazonia.)

Metro to Columbia heights, walk down Harvard Street til you're in the zoo. If you reach the hospital you went the wrong direction

There was a footbridge from a neighborhood that led directly into the zoo at the bottom of the hill. Never noticed it before until the other night. Im assuming folks found street parking and just walked in.
