Zoo Safety
It is very important for all guests to follow the rules during their stay at the zoo, both for their safety and the safety of the animals. As the old saying goes, Better safe than sorry!
- Keep any children in your sight at all times to ensure they are behaving safely.
- If you see anyone in distress, be sure to alert the zoo staff.
- Absolutely no smoking on zoo grounds.. Smoking is a health hazard for fellow guests and the animals. Please see this guide from the CDC on health issues related to smoking.
- Be kind and courteous to the others guests. Everyone is here to have a fun time.
- Please do not cut in line at the concessions stands. Wait your turn.
- Throw away all trash in the designated trash bins. Leave the zoo cleaner than you found it! In the words of zookeeper Albert:
Don't be mean, keep the zoo clean!
Safety Information for Interacting With Animals
- Do not disturb or harass the animals. You will be asked to leave the zoo.
- The only time it is acceptable to feed the animals is under the supervision of a zookeeper at one of the appointed stations. Look for the sign with a giraffe eating a green leaf.
- If you want to take pictures of the animals, please turn off the flash.
