Shepreth Wildlife Park will reopen on Monday, but with a new socially-distanced walkway path.
Visitors will need
to purchase an online ticket for entrance to the Cambridgeshire zoo which is not allowed to
accept walk-ins due to strict regulations introduced for the Covid-19 pandemic.
The website has all the instruction for visitors to book as well as plenty of advice.

An Astronaut's Guide To Isolation
Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by four space explorers in an astronaut special.
Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by a stellar panel of space travellers as they get tips on surviving isolation from a group with a truly unique insight. They are joined by astronauts Helen Sharman, Chris Hadfield, Nicole Stott and Apollo 9's Rusty Schweickart to talk Space X, the future of space travel and how a trip to Mars will be the ultimate test of our ability to survive isolation.
It was the warmest May on record globally with the biggest temperature anomalies at the North and South Poles. We look at what's happening in our monthly Climate Check.
A zoo which has closed, partly because of the loss of income during the coronavirus lockdown, has found new homes for all its animals.
Living Coasts announced on Monday that it would not be reopening, and that as a last resort it would have to consider euthanising the animals if homes couldn't be found.
Owners Wild Planet Trust said the animals would not be moved immediately as it's a complex process.
They will be rehomed at "specialist facilities" which are part of the "world-wide network of zoos and aquariums".

Dr Kirsten Pullen, director of conservation and education said:
“We needed to ensure that their new home is the right habitat, the right social
grouping and has the right experienced staff working with them."
"There is a
range of legislation we need to comply with – for example, the size of animal
carrier we move them in, and what ‘permits’, ‘passports’ and health
certificates they need to cross country borders.
"At every step, the wellbeing of our animals is key to a
successful transport," she added.
Living Coasts staff will continue to
care for the animals until they can be moved.
