Program Requirements & Restrictions

This rate will be adjusted up or down as appropriate in the future.

Animal & Venue Requirements and Restrictions
  1. WILDLIFE: For regulatory or safety reasons, these animals are generally “hands-off” for the public.  This statement by it’s nature is vague because (1) laws vary by state and (2) educators may have some discretion in certain circumstances.
  2. INTERACTIVE: Our “farm life”, “pet life” and friendlier wild species of Ambassador Animals.  Most of these animals are rescues that were injured, abandoned or displaced… and they all have their own personal stories!   At our discretion – all of these animals may be hands-on.
  3. VENUE RESTRICTIONS :  (details coming soon)
