Rules
We follow a three-warning system during your program. The Zoo reserves the right to call home/emergency contacts at any point in the program and ask that a child be picked up and removed from the program.
Our warning system is outlined below:
- Verbal warning from the program mentor, and suggestions on making better choices.
- Verbal warning and possible removal from the activity.
- Removal from activity and call home.
If the behavior continues after three warnings, a call home will be made. In some situations we may ask the child to be picked up from the Zoo. All guardians are obligated to pick up their child if/when a mentor calls to request to send home a child, and they must be picked up within 1 hour of the phone call.
Safety
This is the foremost consideration for all evening and overnight programs. Participants will be given program rules upon arrival and are expected to follow these rules during their entire stay at the Zoo. For everyone’s safety, we reserve the right to end the program for an individual/group if the rules are not respected. Please remember that there may be other programs or special events going on in the Zoo during your child’s visit. Courtesy and respect for all participants are essential to the success of these programs.
The Zoo is VERY dark at night. Please wear good walking shoes and bring flashlight or a headlamp.
