Lacey's Popcorn Park Zoo Reopens Friday

LACEY, NJ — The animals can't wait to see you again. The Popcorn Park Zoo will reopen Friday for visitors.

New Jersey zoos were closed for about three months because of coronavirus restrictions. Popcorn Park reopens with some modifications — for instance, no popcorn.

The zoo let you feed their residents popcorn or peanuts just yet, and no outside food is allowed in the park. They have increased the number of hand-sanitizer stations throughout the zoo and ask that visitors follow social distancing protocols.

This includes just one group or family entering the ticket booth at a time. Masks are required inside the ticket booth, and they're recommended in the zoo.
