Zoo closing early Friday

Woodland Park Zoo is closing early this Friday for its annual fundraising Jungle Party. The zoo will open at 9:30 a.m. but admission gates close at 3 p.m. Visitors can stay inside the zoo until 4 p.m.
Other changes that day: The North Entrance off N. 59th St. & Phinney Ave. N. will be closed all day; the North Meadow and its walk path will be closed all day; and the historic carousel will be closed all day. All vehicles must be removed from the North Entrance parking lot by noon.
