ZOO MANNERS

  • Please do no throw anything into our homes. Even simple objects can be very hazardous if we swallow them.
  • Please do not bring roller skates or roller blades, skateboards, scooters, or bicycles into our Zoo.
  • Please wear proper attire, including shirts and shoes, when you visit us.
  • We're here for everybody to enjoy. Please be considerate of others' wishes to see us, too.
