-Please note that due to the animals’ availability and health, we cannot guarantee which live animals we will bring to each program. Animals we bring align with the program topic and information covered.
-Due to abundant caution for the well-being of ambassador animals in our care, and for people who participate in our programs, we encourage looking at our animals without touching them.
-We rely on chaperones and teachers to help maintain a quiet and calm space for the safety and well-being of our animals.
We can accommodate groups of up to 25 participants.
