Due to the recent spread of avian flu, all interactions with chickens and waterfowl have been placed on hold as a precautionary measure. As always on our birthday party tours, we will offer hand sanitizer after each animal interaction and recommend hand washing at the end of your tour. Thank you for your understanding!
