PROTOCOL 01

Respect The Animals

Feet on the ground. We will not tolerate harassing the animals. Let them come to you on their own terms.

Chasing or harassing is strictly off-limits. Respect their space and give them the chance to interact with you comfortably.

Please do not sit on, stand on, hit, or kick any of our animals (including tortoises and birds). Treat them with the kindness and care they deserve.

PROTOCOL 02

Caution & Safety

Donkeys: Friendly, but they can bite! Keep fingers safe. If you are unfamiliar with horses, we suggest feeding the donkey by placing food on the fence rail rather than hand-feeding.

Alligators: DO NOT feed them. They are on a strict diet managed by staff. Throwing objects into the pond is harmful to their health and strictly prohibited.

PROTOCOL 03

Keep It Calm

Slow down. Running or horseplay can startle the animals. Please do not chase the chickens, geese, or turkeys.

If you feel scared, don't panic. Move slowly. Our staff is always here to help if you feel unsure.

Parents: If your child is scared, please encourage them to stay calm. Show them there is nothing to fear. Let your curiosity run wild, but keep your movements gentle.
