FAQs

What rules should I know before visiting?

  • Food, snacks, gum, and drinks can harm the animals and are not allowed with the aquariums or butterflies.

Can I bring my dog into the facility?
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), only working trained service animals are permitted within the facility. Pets, exotic species, therapy animals, and emotional-support animals are not permitted.

The ADA does require service animals to be always under the control of the handler. Service animals who attempt to chase or bark at the turtles or quail will be required to leave the Conservatory. Refunds will not be issued if you are asked to leave the premises.
