Learn moreBecome a MemberAt Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, ride safety is a top priority, with a thorough system of daily inspections, routine maintenance, and extensive annual checkups to ensure safe operation. Annual maintenance, which includes major repairs and inspections, may require extended closures, but is vital to ensuring the safety, reliability, and enjoyment of the park's attractions.
Happy Hollow Park & Zoo is committed to providing an exceptional visitor experience 100% of the time. To uphold this commitment, we have made the decision to reduce our hours of operation heading into the fall season. Like many other organizations and businesses, Happy Hollow is currently short-staffed and as a result is unable to maintain the full Happy Hollow experience at our current operating schedule of five days per week. Condensing our operations to fewer days per week will allow us to maintain the highest quality of service for our visitors on the days that we are open.
Beginning the week of Oct. 4, Happy Hollow’s new operating hours will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We appreciate the continued support from our members, donors and fans of all ages, and we look forward to continuing to connect people to nature through play.
Happy Hollow offers full-day camps throughout the summer for young animal enthusiasts ages 5 to 13. Every camp is uniquely themed to provide your child with fun, hands-on learning experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. Register today!
