The Jackson (Mississippi) Zoo will shift its visiting hours to 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily starting Thursday, to take advantage of cooler morning temperatures during a hot summer.
The last admission ticket will be sold at 3:30 p.m. each day. The new summer hours will remain in effect until further notice.
“We decided to open an hour earlier to accommodate those who may want to come and enjoy the zoo in the cooler morning weather,” zoo director Beth Poff said in a release.
Penguin Plunge, a self-contained, temporary zoo exhibit housing six black-footed penguins, continues through the summer. Visitors can see penguin feedings at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Penguin Plunge is installed in the Discovery Zoo.
