Leaders and stakeholders of New Bedford’s arts and culture, tourism, hospitality, and business community are asking City Council to vote to accept the ARPA funds.
NEW BEDFORD The Buttonwood Park Zoo assures that anyone wishing to pay cash for admission will be permitted to do so after concerns arose Wednesday morning that tickets could only be sold online – which is still the preferred method of paying for admission, the zoo says, but not the only method.
“If a patron arrives at the Zoo without tickets, we accommodate them, regardless of payment method, if there is capacity in the Zoo in keeping with the state’s required capacity limits,” Sarah Henry, Development and Marketing Officer for the Buttonwood Park Zoological Society, said in response to an email from WBSM News. “If anyone has been turned away from entering the Zoo not due to capacity limits but because of type of payment, it was done so in error and not in keeping with our policy.”

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (WLNE) – The Buttonwood Park Zoo (BPZOO) is offering a number of events to celebrate the holidays, thanks to a grant from Southeastern Massachusetts Visitors Bureau to the Buttonwood Park Zoological Society.
“Typically at this time of year, the Zoo hosts a variety of holiday events,” BPZOO Director Keith Lovett said. “While we knew we would not be able to invite the community to have breakfast with Santa, or celebrate ‘Noon’ Year’s Eve this year, we wanted to make the grounds festive for our winter guests. We appreciate the opportunity presented by the Southeastern Massachusetts Visitors Bureau and the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism to help the Zoological Society make the Zoo warm and inviting during these colder winter months.”
