Special ribbon cutting ceremony for Redwood Sky Walk in June

Today the City of Eureka announced that on Friday, June 4, 2021, they will hold a special event and ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the official grand opening of the Redwood Sky Walk at Sequoia Park Zoo. 

The grand opening ceremony will be followed by a weekend of special activities to celebrate the area’s newest, and tallest, attraction.   The Grand Opening weekend activity schedule, which will be announced in the coming days, is designed to allow as many citizens as possible to join in the celebration while limiting each individual activity’s attendance numbers to ensure compliance with California’s reopening guidelines. 

However, prior to the grand opening weekend, locals will also have an opportunity to experience the Redwood Sky Walk early. Starting Friday, May 14, 2021, visitors to the Sequoia Park Zoo can access the Redwood Sky Walk during their regular zoo visits.   

More information about the Redwood Sky Walk experience, including the new pricing schedule, photos, and experience details, is now available at redwoodskywalk.com.   

Effective Friday, May 14, 2021, one ticket will provide entry into both the Sequoia Park Zoo and the Redwood Sky Walk. Accordingly, the price of zoo admission will adjust to the following fee schedule:  

Clarification from Eddy Alexander: Children 0-2 years are free, children 3-12 years are the regular child price. 

Special access programs, including library passes, Everyone’s Zoo, and EBT/BIC rates will continue to be offered to ensure the Sequoia Park Zoo will remain highly accessible to the entire community. 

“The Redwood Sky Walk is a tremendous new asset that will bring many benefits to our community,” City of Eureka Mayor Susan Seaman said. “Both locals and visitors alike will, undoubtedly, enjoy seeing our special park from this new perspective, and the Redwood Sky Walk’s new interpretive signage and programming will help more people than ever before to understand the delicate intricacies and dependencies of our local ecosystem.”   

“We are very excited to add this world-class attraction to our community,” Eureka City Manager Miles Slattery said. “The early feedback has been amazing and I’m especially thankful for the efforts and contributions of the project’s donors, city staff and contractors, the Sequoia Park Zoo Foundation, and the many zoo volunteers who all worked so hard and made this project possible.”
