We are ensuring their wellbeing during this event in a number of ways\, including: \n\n Our team has done extensive research and consulted with other AZA-accredited facilities who have hosted similar events. We have also reviewed in detail all aspects of the event with our Veterinary and Animal Care teams\, including them in every step of the process and acting on their recommendations.\n For this event\, dogs will not be permitted in some parts of the Zoo\, including the ZooFarm\, World of Reptiles\, and Turtle Oasis. This is to protect our animals from close contact with the dogs\, as well as prevent stress for some of our more reactive species.\n We conducted two test days with well-behaved pets of our Zoo Team and Members\, which allowed our Animal Care Team to evaluate their animalsā€™ responses to dogs. The open areas of the Zoo were selected because the keepers identified that the animals in that area did not exhibit concerning behaviors during the tests.\n During our test days\, and through our research\, we actually found that having some dogs on site was enriching for many of the animals here at the Zoo! Many of the animals were interested in our canine friends and it proved to be stimulating and exciting for them!\n We will continue to monitor our animalsā€™ behavior during and after the event as well as make adjustments mid-event and for future events accordingly.\n On the day of the event\, any dogs behaving in an unruly or aggressive manner (i.e. excessive barking\, growling\, lunging\, biting\, etc.) will be required to leave Zoo grounds without a refund.\n\nBringing in other animals onto Zoo grounds is something we take very seriously. We are adhering to all recommendations by animal experts at our facility and other AZA organizations. Additionally\, we require detailed vaccination and veterinary records to be submitted for review by our Veterinarian for all dogs attending this event. \n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nActivities\n\n\n\nIncluded with your ticket: \n\n\n\n\nDonation Drive for the Norfolk Animal Care Center (NACC)\n\nGuests who donate items from the NACCā€™s donation list will receive a raffle ticket with the chance to win a basket from our participating vendors!

We are ensuring their wellbeing during this event in a number of ways\, including: \n\n Our team has done extensive research and consulted with other AZA-accredited facilities who have hosted similar events. We have also reviewed in detail all aspects of the event with our Veterinary and Animal Care teams\, including them in every step of the process and acting on their recommendations.\n For this event\, dogs will not be permitted in some parts of the Zoo\, including the ZooFarm\, World of Reptiles\, and Turtle Oasis. This is to protect our animals from close contact with the dogs\, as well as prevent stress for some of our more reactive species.\n We conducted two test days with well-behaved pets of our Zoo Team and Members\, which allowed our Animal Care Team to evaluate their animalsā€™ responses to dogs. The open areas of the Zoo were selected because the keepers identified that the animals in that area did not exhibit concerning behaviors during the tests.\n During our test days\, and through our research\, we actually found that having some dogs on site was enriching for many of the animals here at the Zoo! Many of the animals were interested in our canine friends and it proved to be stimulating and exciting for them!\n We will continue to monitor our animalsā€™ behavior during and after the event as well as make adjustments mid-event and for future events accordingly.\n On the day of the event\, any dogs behaving in an unruly or aggressive manner (i.e. excessive barking\, growling\, lunging\, biting\, etc.) will be required to leave Zoo grounds without a refund.\n\nBringing in other animals onto Zoo grounds is something we take very seriously. We are adhering to all recommendations by animal experts at our facility and other AZA organizations. Additionally\, we require detailed vaccination and veterinary records to be submitted for review by our Veterinarian for all dogs attending this event. \n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nActivities & Schedule\n\n\n\nCOMING SOON \n\n\n\nFood & Drinks ($)\n\n\n\nCOMING SOON \n\n\n\nšŸ’² Ticket Prices šŸ’²\n\n\n\nPlease note\, prices may increase as the event date nears\, so donā€™t wait ā€” early birds get the best deal! \n\n\n\nšŸ¾ COMING SOON \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Reminders\n\n\n\n\nLimited number of tickets available.ā€ÆAdvance ticket sales end when sold out (get yours early!).
