Zoo policies are guidelines designed to ensure the safety and well-being of both visitors and animals. These policies often include rules about feeding animals, maintaining a safe distance, and not tapping on glass enclosures. Visitors are encouraged to respect the animals' space and follow posted signs to enhance their experience while protecting wildlife. Additionally, many zoos have policies regarding photography, prohibiting flash photography to avoid stressing the animals. Other rules may cover the use of strollers, pets, and outside food. By adhering to these policies, guests contribute to a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone at the zoo.
