Tickets for the event increased to $60 for non-annual pass holders and $32 for annual pass holders and monthly members beginning Monday.

The Drive-Thru Zoo was created to give guests a unique experience to guests and their children, said CEO Tim Furrow. Officials were able to bring back furloughed workers to make the event happen.

To purchase tickets or to learn more about the Drive-Thru Zoo Experience, you can visit their website. All proceeds such as tickets and curbside food purchases will fund the care of the animals during the temporary closure.
