• The gift shop/office entrance has a concrete ramp
• There is a step into the main restroom building
• A portable restroom is available inside the park
Guests using wheelchairs or strollers regularly visit successfully, though terrain may vary depending on weather conditions.
We do not offer wheelchair or stroller rentals.
🐾 Animal Interaction & Guest Responsibility
Animals, even friendly farm animals, are living creatures and may behave unpredictably.
While many of our animals enjoy feeding and interaction, guests should be aware:
• Animals are capable of biting, nibbling, or sudden movements
• Small children should be closely supervised during feeding
• Fingers should never be placed inside an animal’s mouth
• Only approved feed purchased inside the park may be given to animals
• Follow posted signage at each exhibit
For the safety of both guests and animals, respectful behavior is required at all times.
👨👩👧 Supervision
Children must be supervised at all times by a responsible adult.
Do not allow children to:
• Climb fencing
• Enter restricted areas
