Sequoia Park Zoo, Redwood Skywalk Closed Saturday Due to High Winds

Sequoia Park Zoo closed its gates and suspended access to the Redwood Sky Walk on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, citing high wind conditions, according to a closure alert posted on the zoo’s public calendar and social media. The zoo’s Facebook post said in all caps: "CLOSURE ALERT! Sequoia Park Zoo and Redwood Sky Walk are CLOSED today, Saturday, February 21, 2026, due to high winds."

The zoo’s website carried a similar notice that used a day-month-year date format and site navigation text: "Closure Alert! Saturday, 21 February 2026 - Sequoia Park Zoo and Redwood Sky Walk are CLOSED due to high winds. Read On... Menu. Plan Your Visit · Animals." The Instagram post reproduced the all-caps alert language and added a safety hashtag: "CLOSURE ALERT! Sequoia Park Zoo & Redwood Sky Walk are CLOSED today • Saturday, February 21, 2026 • due to high winds. #SafetyFirst #"

A previous news summary noted the same cause and included the phrasing that the zoo had "posted a closure alert for Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, announcing that both the zoo and its landmark Redwood Skywalk would be closed that day because of high wind conditions. The zoo’s public calendar explicitly named high winds as the reason for the closure and cautione", the sentence in that summary appears truncated and ends with "and cautione" in the available excerpt.

Public postings used slightly different spellings and date formats for the attraction and the closure date; social posts and the website used "Redwood Sky Walk" as two words, while the original news summary used the single-word variant "Redwood Skywalk." Facebook and Instagram included the phrase "are CLOSED today," which indicates the alerts were posted on the closure date, but none of the captured posts include timestamps, so exact posting times cannot be confirmed.

The notices are explicit about the reason - high winds - but they omit several operational details that would matter to visitors and researchers. None of the provided posts or the website excerpt specify wind speeds, reference any National Weather Service advisory, state a reopening time or date beyond the single calendar day, or describe ticket refund or rescheduling procedures. The Instagram excerpt also shows a trailing, incomplete hashtag symbol, indicating the post text as captured may be truncated.

Sequoia Park Zoo’s public calendar entry and its Facebook and Instagram channels are the official sources for the closure message contained in the available postings. For updates on reopening, visitor accommodations, or any expanded statement from zoo staff, the zoo’s website and its social feeds are the continuing points of record; the posted excerpts instruct readers to "Read On..." on the site but do not include further details in the captured text.
