CINCINNATI, Ohio (WTVQ) – Stuck at home by the coronavirus. The Cincinnati Zoo may be closed but it doesn’t mean people can’t have access.
The zoo has come up with a unique way for people to “visit” without visiting.
During the closure, the Zoo plans to offer Home Safari Facebook Lives seven days a week.
“We’re bringing the Zoo to people who are stuck at home,” said Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard. “This Zoo is so important to the community and not being able to visit will create a void that we’re trying to fill. The goal with the daily live sessions is to provide fun and educational content to people who are stuck at home.”
To watch live, just visit the Zoo’s Facebook page at 3 p.m. The zoo will also post the safaris on its website and on YouTube so everyone can view.
“We announced the safaris on Facebook yesterday, and the response was phenomenal. That post has reached more than 18 million people and has been shared 283,000 times,” said Maynard. “I’m not a social media expert, but I’m pretty sure those numbers are off the charts.”
The Zoo also picked up 400,000 new Facebook followers after it announced the lives. It plans to bring the Zoo into peoples’ homes via its other social channels throughout the day as long as it remains closed.
“As a non-profit organization, the zoo relies on ticket sales, zoo visits, memberships and donations to operate. Being closed will have a significant impact on its overall operating budget. Please consider donating to our emergency operating fund to assist us with the care of our animals and team members. Your support now is more critical than ever,” said Maynard.
