Cancellation Policy
No refunds for no-shows for less than 24hr notice cancelations, full refund if canceled more than 3 days before your reservation, 50% refund if canceled within 1-3 days. We can also move your appointment to another day/time if you let us know before your appointment.
To prioritize the health and well-being of our animals, we will now present certain species on a scheduled basis during general admission. Repeatedly opening enclosures, lifting hides, and exposing animals to light throughout the day can be stressful and disruptive to their natural behaviors. By offering set demonstration times, we’re able to ensure a better experience for both animals and visitors. Demonstrations start at the half-hour, last about 10 minutes, and will not be repeated until the next day.
