Scheduling an Experience
Animal experiences are scheduled on a firstcome, first-served basis, with a minimum of

You may schedule up to three animal

To ensure the health and wellbeing of the
animals, zoo staff may remove them at
any time.
Due to food safety guidelines, no active food
or beverage service will take place during

Every effort will be made to meet requests for
specific animals and your event coordinator
will confirm which animal will be present prior
to your event date.
