When Bao Bao makes her public debut this weekend, she’ll be logging some extra hours. The National Zoo announced today that it will extend panda house hours this weekend to accommodate the crush of people expected to visit.

It will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from January 18 through January 20, and visitors will be allowed into the house in small groups to avoid overcrowding on a first-come-first-served basis. Bao Bao and Mei Xiang will have access to the den during those times, and may choose to spend time in it instead of on exhibit. Beginning January 21 the panda house will open to FONZ members only from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. At 10 a.m. the panda house will open to the general public.

And just because the world needs as much Bao Bao as possible, the Zoo christened its Instagram account with an up-close video of the panda.
