• For safety’s sake, please stay on the pathways and do not place children on the railings.
  
  
• Please do not throw anything into the animal exhibits. Even simple objects can be hazardous if swallowed.
  
  
• Pets are not allowed in the zoo. Seeing eye and hearing-aid dogs are the only outside animals permitted, and only with the appropriate proof of certification.
  
  
• For the safety and comfort of everyone, no balloons, balls, bikes, skates or rollerblades may be brought into the zoo.
  
  
• For the health of all our visitors, and the animals, smoking is prohibited throughout the zoo.
