A daily pre-opening safety inspection for zoo operations staff checking all public-facing areas before admitting visitors. Covers animal enclosure barriers and viewing areas, pathways and walkways, safety signage, children's play areas, food and beverage outlets, first aid stations, and accessibility features — everything that must be safe and functional before the gates open.

Zoos host families with young children who climb, lean, and reach — near enclosures holding dangerous animals. Barrier integrity, clear signage, and well-maintained pathways are critical to preventing incidents that could harm visitors or result in animal escapes. This checklist ensures every public area is inspected before the public enters.
