Service Dogs Guidelines: https://www.alabamagulfcoastzoo.com/uploads/AGCZServiceDogGuidelinesMar2019.pdf To visit the zoo with a service dog requires an appointment made 24 hours in advance through our guest services in the gift shop. Please call 251-968-5732. All guests with a service dog must be accompanied by a zoo staff member. The dog must be on a leash or harness no longer than 4 feet in length at all times and never left unattended anywhere in the park. Please alert any zoo staff member immediately should your dog get loose or you need other assistance in attending to your animal. On warm weather days, we ask that you please keep your dog well hydrated. We also provide many shaded rest areas. Even in areas that are not restricted to service dogs, a zoo animal may react in an unusual way that may appear harmless but could be a stress reaction. We ask that you move along quickly out of sight of that animal or comply with a request from our staff to do so. A zoo is filled with new and unfamiliar stimuli to dogs, and even the most well-behaved and well-trained dog can react, especially to the many free-roaming large birds wandering throughout the park. We also have educational animal shows and encounters that bring zoo animals very close to guests and we ask for extreme precaution in keeping your service dog under control. Please promptly request assistance from our staff should you need to remove your service dog from any situation that could be disruptive or potentially dangerous. | No information provided by facility. | No information provided by facility. | "The leash requirement for working service animals is contradictory to the language in the ADA."" | No information provided by facility. | No information provided by the facility.

See official service animal policy. https://www.cabq.gov/artsculture/biopark/documents/biopark-service-animals-policy-and-map_updated-2022.pdf The Albuquerque BioPark welcomes visitors with service animals. The Albuquerque BioPark recognizes service animals as de ned by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). (The ADA de nes service animals as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities), and the state Service Animal Act. Pets, therapy animals, and comfort animals are not service animals under the ADA or state law, Section 28-11-2, NMSA 1978;** therefore, they are not allowed. The Albuquerque BioPark is committed to certain precautions that will ensure the visit is safe for everyone, including the animals. Service animals must be well trained, accustomed to being in the public, stay calm and quiet beside their handler, clean without o ensive odors, and housebroken. Please take a few minutes to review the following material. Pursuant to New Mexico law, it is a crime to misrepresent any non-service animal as a legally protected service animal. The penalty for such misrepresentation is a ne of not more than $1,000 and a jail sentence of not more than a year. (31-19-1 NMSA 1978) OFF LIMIT AREAS: The BioPark restricts access to public areas in which the use of a quali ed service animal poses a threat of harm to health or safety. Certain Zoo exhibits are permanently o -limits to service animals. Service animals may be seen as predators and in some circumstances as prey. Because of this, some Zoo animals may react adversely and cause harm to themselves and others. The o limit areas are identi ed as The Cat Walk and the Nature Theatre during live bird shows. There are also times when an exhibit may be temporarily closed to service animals due to an illness or after the birth of a new animal. Zoo sta will post any such temporary closures. STRESS REACTION: Zoo animals may experience a stress reaction to a service animal even in exhibits that are not speci cally o -limits to service animals. Sometimes these may appear harmless or even amusing. If a Zoo animal responds to your service animal with any unusual behavior, we request that you move along quickly to minimize stress on the Zoo animal and to your service animal. Sta may also request that you promptly move on if they notice stress signals from a Zoo animal. NOTE: Service animals must be on a leash (or harness) measuring four feet or less in length at all times and not be left unattended. An exception is made if the handler is unable to use such devices due to their disability or if it would interfere with the trained task(s) the service animal performs. BEHAVIOR ISSUES: There are times when even the most well-behaved service animal has an adverse reaction to the new stimuli and may become di cult for its handler to control. Sta may request that a service animal experiencing di culty be removed from the Zoo immediately. We ask that you promptly comply with any such request for the safety and welfare of all. ACCOMMODATION: If you have a disability and require additional accommodations, please see the BioPark administrative o ce for assistance. | No information provided by facility. | No information provided by facility. | No information provided by facility. | No information provided by facility.

While your service animal has been prepared for most public settings, touring a zoo can be an unusual experience. We ask that service animal handlers be observant of their animal’s behavior and the behaviors of zoo animals, and adjust your time at exhibits accordingly for the well-being of zoo residents. Per the ADA, service animals may be excluded if their presence alters the nature of the Zoo’s services or if the animal is out of the owner’s control. If a service animal is excluded, the owner will be able to visit without the service animal. Because we are subject to strict regulations regarding the protection and well-being of our Zoo animals, service animals are not permitted in the Aussie Aviary experience. | No information provided by facility. | No information provided by facility. | No information provided by facility. | All restrooms are wheelchair accessible.

Hours of operation vary seasonally and for maintenance. The train takes visitors on a trip along the outer loop of the zoo; providing opportunities to see habitats from a unique view. The train ride starts at the Train Station, just past the entrance to Land of the Jaguar, and takes a single loop around the Zoo, ending in the same place.

Guests under 42 inches in height must be accompanied by a responsible adult. This is a ticketed experience and tickets can be purchased at the ticket window or through the Zootique. The train has an accessible train car that can accommodate 1 wheelchair at a time. The accessible car is 58″ long and 42″ wide. Boarding the train using our accessible ramp requires visitors to clear a 32”w x 51”h entry into the car. To use the accessible train car, speak to an employee who will assist you in boarding the car up a ramp and securing the wheelchair using wheel locks. Note: the train produces artificial chugging noises, an artificial train whistle sound, and will sound a bell at every train crossing.

70 | Cougar Mountain Zoo | Issaquah, WA | (425) 391-5508 | 11 acres | This zoo is on the side of a small mountain, and therefore pathways are hilly. Short but steep hills lead both up and down from the entrance of the facility. This is a very small facility and can be traversed quickly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

73 | Dallas World Aquarium | Dallas, TX | "The Dallas world aquarium visited february 2020. More of a indoor rainforest than proper aquarium. Almost the entire facility is composed of a series of ramps, so it's wheelchair accessible but kind of difficult to get around with a walker. A few exhibits are stairs entry only. " | "The whole location is an acoustic nightmare, please bring earplugs if you are prone to noise overstimulation." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

77 | Detroit Zoological Park | Royal Oak, MI | "I've personally used a wheelchair there, and I overall had a really nice time, but could see things being less fun if it was crowded. In some exhibits, my spouse would have to help me maneuver to where I could see, because from some angles my view would be of the railing. I think this would've been difficult if it had been more crowded. I'm glad that I was able to see everything though." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
