The house is private.

The “Port a-Potty” is the only facility available for members.
-
If you have keys, be sure to lock immediately after passing through a gateway. Do not leave it open for others to come through. If you do not have keys, you may go behind locked gates only when accompanied by a Senior Volunteer.
-
Do not touch or try to “pet” the exotic animals. They may seem tame, but they are wild animals and can cause harm.
-
No teasing or aggressive gestures towards the animals.
