We came when the weather wasn’t ideal, can we get our money back?
We do not offer any refunds due to inclement weather. If the weather limits visibility and is to the point we cannot operate, we will reschedule your experience for a different date.
Will I be required to wear a face covering?
We have worked diligently with state and local health officials, government leaders, medical and epidemiology experts, and attraction industry leaders to develop protocols and guidelines to safely reopen our park, including requirements for guests and team members to wear face coverings.
Face coverings are required for guests (over the age of two) at transaction points during the experience (admission, merchandise, culinary) or if approached by a team member. Guests are not required to wear face coverings while driving through the experience.
Guests who do not comply with the face covering policy as stated above will not be permitted to enter or remain in the park.

You can interact with your favorite furry friends. All interactions will be done in a creative way from inside your car without needing to open the window.
