Thanks, but there is no box to order free passes now, I will have to pay £50 for 2 adults if I want to go!
It's now stuck, probably about to crash AGAIN!

As posted on the Chester thread, if you haven't already, try another browser. If websites work for one user and not another that's generally the problem..!
Got to admit I got there and decided not to go through, although both next Monday and Tuesday were still available, which are supposed ti be Fellows/Members only days
I'm going to wait for some feedback from people who have managed to get in, seems it might not be that busy if the carry on like this
Chester Tickets for Members now bookings being taken up until the 12th July.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park will open for annual pass holders only on Monday, then for all from Tuesday. As is usual, it'll be takeaway food only, and the giraffe house and walk-through animal enclosures (lemurs, wallabies, South America Viva) will be closed, although the animals will be visible from outside the enclosures' perimeter fencing. The gift shop will be open although numbers will be limited.
Also note that when pre-booking you have to select a time slot within 1 hour of when you intend to arrive.

Booking doesn't appear to be active yet though.
Sorry just seen on their Facebook that its not, which is a bit surprising when they're opening so soon! One to keep an eye on if anyone fancies a visit.

Seems to be a few glitches and oversights across the board, which is to be expected. I did notice that the YWP page does say that memberships that expired during close down can be extended though.
@Andrew Swales Have Hamerton sent out the emails to annual ticket holders with their entry codes?

Yes they have been, I just checked with Kim who is doing all the DigiTicket stuff... When I saw her this morning we were about 2/3 booked for Monday and about half for Tuesday and Wednesday. Booking system seems to be ok, but I am busy on site and dont have the direct contact as we are now split into admin/shop team and animal team. If the season-ticket code email failed to reach you, please email the main office address immediately and I'll make sure it is dealt with. Mention this reply please.

Especially since “Experience Ethiopia” is mentioned in the FAQ’s and the Gelada and hyaena are showing on the map.

Rather surprisingly, Lincolnshire Wildlife Park are not planning to re-open yet as they feel its too soon.
Woodside Wildlife Park also remains closed until at least July.

Now that its been officially announced, I can tell you about something really cool with Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park’s reopening.
Like with most zoos, keeper talks just aren’t possible because we can’t have large gatherings of visitors in any one area. So we’ve come up with a fun and innovative way around this. At certain enclosures, you’ll be able to scan a QR code on your phones which will take you to a little video of Jimmy and one of the rangers talking about the animals you’re looking at, giving you all the info. Fun, eh?
