Maine Wildlife Park opens for the season Thursday. It’s home to more than 30 species and more than 80 animals, including popular mountain lions, eagles and moose. This year, the park is opening with a reservation system at least temporarily in place: Visitors can reserve one of 18 slots every half-hour between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., with each slot accommodating up to 10 people in the same pandemic bubble. Evening hours are being added Thursdays and Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day with the last reservations between 6 and 6:30 p.m. On those days, the park closes at 8 p.m.
