PETS

We know you would not want to cause harm to the zoo animals, so please do not bring your pets to Riverview Park and Zoo. Pets can introduce harmful diseases to exotic animals, and can frighten some species of zoo animals causing serious or life threatening injury. Visitors requiring the use of service animals are requested to contact the Riverview Park and Zoo prior to visiting, in order that precautions can be taken to prevent harm to the zoo animals.
