Many exhibits are low to the ground and interactive—keep children within arm’s reach and obey all safety signage.

Photos are allowed but avoid flash near sensitive animals and follow staff guidance during feeding or demonstrations.
Light, breathable clothing

Comfortable walking shoes
Non-slip shoes make canopy walkways and ramps more comfortable.

Compact camera or smartphone
