The Calgary Zoo is welcoming back members to the facility for a special two-day preview ahead of the partial opening of the zoo on Wednesday for all Calgarians.

On their Facebook page, the zoo says that the attraction will be admitting guests who hold Engage and Inspire memberships for Monday and Tuesday.

Guests who don’t hold either one of those memberships will need to wait until Wednesday to take in the Penguin Plunge, Canadian Badlands, and Prehistoric Park.

Admission on and after July 31 is $10 plus GST until further notice for all ages three and up while guests two and under are free.

There is a cap on the amount of people they’ll be letting into the facility; only 2,500 people will be allowed in at a time.

The Calgary Zoo says they will be reopening the zoo in stages over the next five months.
