STAY ON
THE PATH at all times –
this is for YOUR SAFETY
Keep noise and movement to a minimum. We try to keep the animals’ environment as
natural as possible, and we ask that you and your group act like quiet
observers of nature. Please do not
scream or wave at the animals, or knock on the glass or fencing to try to
get their attention. The animals will become stressed by your presence and
will be more likely to hide from you.

NOT feed or annoy the
animals (This includes banging on, throwing things/food/coins, into the
enclosures or at the animals) This is animal endangerment and it is
illegal.
