Visiting with small children or someone with cognitive conditions? If you're carrying a cell phone during your visit, pick up a free Phone Find wristband at entrance for them to wear. The Phone Find wristband helps reunite the wearer with their family/caregiver in the event they become separated.
Simply print your cell phone number on the wristband and instruct the wearer to go to a uniformed zoo employee if they get separated. We'll call you and get you and your party reunited.
