A spokesman for the zoo said on Sunday: "From tomorrow, many of our indoor areas will reopen and we’re excited for you to walk through the sealion tunnel, see our new Orangutan arrivals, feed our Lorikeets, explore the Kingdom of the Wild building, and enjoy a little shelter on those wetter days.
"Please be aware that our Jungle Tumble indoor play area will not be reopening yet, and a small number of other indoor areas will also be closed for maintenance work."
Residents will still need to wear face coverings whilst inside the indoor areas at the zoo.
