Courtesy & Safety
The Zoo is a magical place to be. It’s absolutely wonderful when we all respect each other AND the animals. We would be delighted if you would review the following information BEFORE entering the Zoo:
- Please refrain from smoking inside of Zoo grounds.
- Respect the barriers and fences around animal habitats.
- Human food can harm our animals – they're on special diets to keep them happy and healthy!
- Help keep our animals and their habitats safe…please try to keep your belongings to yourself, out of the habitats, and off the walkways.
- Let our animals show you their natural behaviors at their own pace! Please be courteous and respectful while observing them!
- No firearms are allowed in the Zoo.
