- Stone Zoo: sloth tour; African spurred tortoise feed; otter feed; prehensile-tailed porcupine encounter; gibbon food toss; reindeer encounter
Information to Consider:
- All proposals must be booked at least thirty (30) days prior to the desired proposal date, which is subject to availability.
- We strongly recommend that each client visit the Zoo to view possible proposal locations.
- If you prefer to propose on Zoo grounds as opposed to inside a private venue, we cannot guaranty privacy from other Zoo guests.
- We are happy to include existing photographs of you and your fiancé to be included in the proposal display. Let us know if there are other items you would like to bring for inclusion in the proposal setting. For animal safety reasons, balloons are not permitted.
- You may bring your own photographer or videographer.
- As the health and wellbeing of our animals is our highest priority, we are not able to guarantee a specific animal’s availability on the proposal date. Accordingly, we ask that you give us your top three choices of Ambassador Animals, identifying your preference.
Customization is Possible!
