Adventure Zoo Rules and Policies

Feed only the designated animals at the clearly marked feeding stations. Do not attempt to feed any other animals.

Only Safari-provided lettuce and/or animal specific food is permitted. Please do not bring your own lettuce from home!

• When feeding lettuce, grip the bottom end with a fist-hand, feed by holding away from you, allowing the Animal to eat from the opposite end.

• Do not use lettuce/feed to “bait” animals towards interacting with you; and, do not attempt to directly contact or touch the animals!

Do not litter!  Throw all trash into the provided receptacles.

Do not hit or bang-on any enclosure glass!  This includes (but is not limited to) the tanks in reptile hallway, Otter exhibit, Nocturnal Hallway exhibits, etc. This causes harmful distress to our animals and will not be tolerated.

When visiting the Nocturnal Hallway, please keep sound to a minimum! Many of these animals become easily frightened with excess noise.

Drive Thru Safari Rules and Policies

The maximum speed is 5mph.

Only Safari-provided food pellets are permitted.

Do not feed from hand, and toss the pellets onto the ground to avoid accidental bites or scratches. Never extend your fingers towards an animal’s mouth.

• Zebras, Emu's, Donkeys, and Ostrich will bite human fingers if placed in their mouths attached to food.

Everyone must remain FULLY INSIDE the vehicle with doors closed at all times. Hanging out of the windows or sunroof, riding in truck beds, opening doors, or getting out of the vehicle will result in immediate ejection from park.

Windows must be fully up or down! The park is not liable for damage to windows or door frames resulting from failure to comply with this rule.

If you are stopping to feed animals, pull over to the right side of the road so other vehicles may pass you.  Yield the right of way to park staff at all times, they may be responding to an emergency!
