Can I bring my Dog?
While we love and would normally allow dogs to our events, we do ask that you don’t bring your pooches to this one, there are dozens of animals and we don’t wish to spook them or your beloved pet.
Taking Photos and Videos
Whilst photos and videos are allowed, we do ask you are respectful and listen to the animal handlers so animals are not spooked or distressed by photos.
