An ongoing electrical maintenance project is in its final stages, and requires a full power shutdown in order to get the new lines operational.
Earlier this fall, the Zoo became aware that an electrical line that was original to the Zoo – making it more than 55 years old – needed to be replaced.
Evergy has completed the replacement and will require power to be shut off to the entire Zoo for at least 12 hours in order to hook the new lines to the transformers and have everything running smoothly again.
Closing the Zoo and canceling Wild Lights will allow for the work to be done efficiently without affecting the experience or safety of guests. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate the understanding of our community.
