BIA’s design for the new Stone Zoo Entrance officially opened to the public today with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by state and local officials. The large entrance plaza and cedar pergola gateway was designed to create a new sense of welcome, and to set the tone for improvements being made throughout the zoo. The project incorporates new ticketing operations, public restrooms, and a gift shop, organized behind two steel and cedar pergola structures that form the new plaza. Other improvements include a new Animal Discovery Center and restroom facility in the center of the zoo.
