Masks are no longer required outdoors at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

“Per the State of Ohio mandate, masks are not required outdoors unless you cannot safely and consistently stay 6 feet from other groups,” the zoo posted on its website.

Masks are still required indoors and must cover the nose, mouth and chin. Social distancing should also still be adhered to.
