LEAVE AT HOME

• Toys, blankets, slime, gum, and items you value that may get lost

A school sack lunch will be provided, but you may bring your own from home should you wish.

We will enjoy a picnic lunch at William Land Park outside the zoo.

While exploring at the zoo, we do not:

• Run inside the zoo
• Climb/stand on fences/barriers
• Place anything over animal barriers
• Touch the animals
• Feed the animals
• Tease the animals (i.e., shouting at, banging on the glass, whistling at, mimicking animals' calls)

If a staff member observes any of these behaviors from our group, it can result in our group being asked to leave the zoo. Don't be that guy!

There are a few places to purchase food, drinks and snacks throughout the zoo. There is also a gift shop if you wish to bring spending money to buy a souvenir.

Please be aware: Students are not allowed to go into the gift shop without chaperone supervision! Buying snacks and treats is up to the discretion of your student's chaperone!

**Chaperones are under no obligation to stop at any store or snack station if it is not conducive to the schedule of the whole group**
