PETTING ZOO GUIDELINES

Set Up

Our animals are happiest when we are set up on grass and in the shade. The petting zoo should not be set up near food or concessions.

Location

Our animals get nervous about being around sounds they are not familiar with — especially “popping” or “banging” sounds. Please plan your layout accordingly if you have any activities planned with balloons, live bands or loud games.

Water

We do not travel with water. We will need access to water to fill water pails for our animals.

Cleanliness

We provide hand sanitizer, but it is recommended that you have a station with actual soap & water nearby. If guests are to use a bathroom instead, please have signs to direct them.

Unloading

We need an easy way to load and unload with our truck and livestock trailer. It is ideal if we are able to park nearby where we set up as we have animal supplies on our trailer.

Timing

We typically arrive 20–30 minutes before the start of your event.
