Can children younger than 3 years old participate?
Generally, we do not recommend children younger than 3 years be present in the animal area, as their sudden movements and shrill sounds can startle some animals. Also, our program content is designed for children older than 3 years of age. However, if this is a family-style event, children under the age of 3 years are welcome to sit quietly with a parent in the audience. Due to general safety precautions, children under the age of 3 years are not allowed to touch the animals. Should an infant or toddler become noisy or active during the show, we will expect that he or she will be removed from the presentation area so as not to disrupt the program or jeopardize the safety of the rest of the audience. Should parents who do not wish to participate in the program remain on the premises, we will expect that they will wait in an area away from the program so their conversations or activities will not force the trainer to strain to be heard.
