Winter Storm Inclement Weather Cancellation Policy

We take safety seriously – for participants, Zoo visitors, staff and for our animals. In the event of an incoming winter storm, Zoo staff may decide to cancel a vacation day/private program. In addition to our education team, the Zoo’s snow team keeps a close eye on the impending storm. The decision may be made to open the Zoo as usual, have a delayed opening, or close for the day depending on the severity of the storm and the subsequent clean up. We reserve the right to cancel a program by 8:00am on the day of the program. If we decide we must cancel a program day due to situations beyond our control, we will issue a credit for your program, to be used towards another one of Zoo New England’s education programs.
