How to make all your visits to Johannesburg Zoo
more enjoyable:
To keep you and your
family safe and enjoy your visit with us, please do
follow the Zoo rules. |
|
|
|
|
- We do not allow balls, balloons, frisbees or similar
toys within the Zoo as these can land in animal
enclosures. Animals find these items very interesting
and can eat them which may harm our animals.
-
Bicycles, roller blades, scooters and skateboards are
not allowed in the zoo.
- Please do not feed our
animals. Our animals are on well-balanced diets ensuring
their best health and optimum weight - you are not being
kind to them by feeding them. Humans can also transmit
diseases to animals which can kill them. You can also be
bitten by our animals which will spoil your visit.
-
We do not allow any loud noises within the Zoo such as
vuvuzelas, radios, whistles, live performances if not
approved, etc as it scares our animals and can lead to
them being unnecessarily stressed
- Please do not
tease any of our animals or attempt to make them move by
throwing stones at them. Do not poke them with sticks or
knock on their windows. Animals should be respected the
same way you want to be respected. |
|
|
|
|
- Please do not climb into animal enclosures or onto
barriers or hang children over barriers. Do not stick
your fingers or any other body part through fences.
Animals are very quick to react to any stimulation and
can cause great damage to you and your family. Do
remember that domestic animals can also bite - so please
do watch your children.
- The Zoo is designed for
families to enjoy themselves and all the facilities are
used at your own risk such as the jungle gyms, ferries
and fun fair operation.
- The Zoo does provide First
aid 7-days a week.
- You may not drive with your
vehicle inside the Zoo |
|
|
|
|
- There is a refreshments provider available at the Zoo.
Currently it is operated by Cafe Fino. They have a
restaurant and various kiosks within the Zoo.
- You
are allowed to bring your own prepared food to the Zoo –
we do not provide any cooking facilities. Please note
you are allowed to bring a gas braai – however, no
fire/charcoal braais are allowed.
- Alcoholic
beverages are allowed at Private functions and must be
restricted to the venue where it is served (i.e. guests
are not allowed to wander around the Zoo with alcohol).
- Guests who have overindulged will not be allowed to
wander around the Zoo as they can be destructive to self
or animals and property, and may pose a safety and
security risk considering that the Zoo houses wild,
dangerous animals.
- Alcohol may not be sold at the
Zoo as it requires a liquor license. |

- - No vending is allowed within the Zoo
- No
damage to Zoo property - this includes the animals
and plants within the Zoo.

in the Zoo except guide dogs

be allowed to be in the Zoo outside of the formal
operating hours unless the Zoo has arranged an event
- The Johannesburg Zoo will not be liable for any
incidents/ accidents or loss or damage to private
property. All equipment left at our venues will be
done so at your own risk.
- Please use the litter
bins provided as litter poses a serious threat to
all our animals.
