• Capacity: up to 6 participants. If you have more than six in your party, please call 916-808-8441 to get in contact with a tour specialist who can help accommodate your group.
• Arrival time: Please arrive on time, as the tour will begin promptly at 1:30pm. Late arrivals may not be able to join the tour. 
• Getting dirty: Rhinos love to take mud baths, which means they are often dusty or muddy. During you meet and greet, you may get a bit dirty as well. For this reason, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting dusty. There will be an opportunity to wash your hands at the end of the tour. 
• Animal participation is not guaranteed. Animals have free choice to participate or not participate in any encounter. The animals also have free choice to leave the encounter at anytime.
• Visit the Behind-the-Scenes Tours page for tour descriptions, schedule, and cancellation policies.

Health and Safety: 

• Closed-toed shoes are highly encouraged for your comfort and safety. 
• Eating and drinking (except water) is not allowed during the tour.
• Illness: If you are ill, experiencing symptoms of COVID or have been exposed to someone with COVID in the last two weeks, we ask that you reschedule your tour. This is for the safety or our animals.   

Please be sure to print, fill out and bring the Release of Liability Form with you on the day of your tour. You can also fill it out when you check in at membership.
