School Tours FAQ
Can we bring our younger children, toddlers, infants, strollers?
No, unfortunately not. This tour is not appropriate for younger children, and is intended for school-age children.
Can we bring a mixed group of children in Kindergarten through 5th grade?
Due to the nature of the information shared with the children, groups must be divided as follows: K-3 and 4-5.
What happens in the case of inclement weather?
If it is raining, we would not include the Teaching Animal Unit (TAU) on the tour. You may choose to reschedule your tour if the weather does not cooperate on your scheduled day.
Can we bring our lunches?
You sure can! At the end of the tour, you are welcome to sit in our cafeteria and enjoy your snacks or lunches. No food will be provided.
