Creating a Safe Experience

Safety concerns for Zoo staff, you and your guest(s) are always important when developing any experience. Therefore, we keep safety and the welfare of the animals in our care as the top priority, and staff are unable to make changes to these planned experiences. In addition, safety requirements will differ depending on the Behind the Scenes Experience selected.  Click on links above for details about each.
