| Best
Times |
| |
During the spring, the zoo
is the wildest place to be, with many visitors. |
| |
On many Thursdays and Fridays, the zoo
will host hundreds of school children. |
| |
If you prefer a time that is less crowded,
consider visiting on a Monday or a Tuesday or any day
in the afternoon. Additionally, the zoo is less crowded
the remainder of the year. Fall is an excellent time to visit! |
| |
|
| Chaperones |
| |
Include your chaperones in planning your
trip. Knowledgeable parents are invaluable to an enjoyable
visit. |
| |
One adult chaperone is required for every
10 students in any grade. |
| |
We ask that chaperones remain with their
students for the entire Zoo visit. The Little Rock Zoo
SPEED LIMIT is 'WALK" for all visitors. |
| |
|
| Please Be Aware! |
| |
The Little Rock Zoo is home to over 725
animals. Please treat them as you would treat guests
to your home. |
| |
Many animals react badly to loud noises
and things being thrown at them. Visitors should refrain
from teasing, yelling, screaming, or throwing things
at the animals. |
| |
The Little Rock Zoo has a "NO FEEDING"
policy (except for the animals in the Children's Farm).
All our animals are on special diets designed specifically
for them. Please help keep our animals healthy and their
homes clean. |
| |
The Zoo allows many of its semi-domestic
birds to range freely on the Zoo grounds. Remind students
not to chase them. They may become aggressive, especially
if they have chicks or ducklings with them. |
| |
For your safety, please do NOT climb
on or cross guardrails. |
| |

| |
We ask that one adult accompany each
five students in the Safari Trader Gift Shop. |

students are allowed inside at any one time. |
| |
|
