have an adult accompany them at all times while at KCC. Adults are responsible
for the behavior of their children.

safety of all our visitors and our animal collection, NO horseplay,
littering, shouting, running, feeding animals or throwing objects is allowed.
KCC staff reserve the right to enforce our policies and order anyone not
following our rules to leave the facility immediately and no refunds
will be given.
DRESS
CODE: Please
dress appropriately for a public outdoor adventure and for the seasonal
weather. Some paths are mulched/unpaved on hilly terrain so wear sturdy walking
shoes. The Aussie Outpost offers for sale convenient single packets of
sunscreen and inexpensive rain ponchos. Umbrellas are not allowed to open/use
while riding on the KangaRanger truck.
ACTIVITY LEVEL: The Center is located in the North Georgia Mountains and the terrain is
hilly. Visitors must be able to walk a minimum of ¼ mile. To fully enjoy all
the Center’s exhibits and walking trails, plan on walking 1 mile plus. Some
paths are unpaved, mulched, and hilly and are not handicap accessible. Our
KangaRanger truck can accommodate one wheelchair per tour with advanced
notice. For visitors in wheelchairs, using walkers, canes or having other
special needs’: a mobile Adult in their party must accompany them to assist as
needed at all times while on KCC property. This is a requirement
for admission. Upon arrival at KCC, visitors with mobility or special health
needs will be asked to sign a liability waiver.
RAIN/WEATHER: The tour will be held rain or shine. Please remember that weather
can sometimes be unpredictable, but it will be warm in the summer and possibly
cold in early spring and late fall. In the rare event of severe weather or
other emergencies, KCC staff reserves the right to cancel a tour (see Admission
Ticket Cancellation Policy above).
Refunds will not be issued due to normal weather conditions (rain, hot,
cold, etc.). Umbrellas are not allowed to open/use while riding on the
KangaRanger truck.
PERSONAL PETS:
Pets
are not allowed on the premises for the health and safety of our animal
collection. Please leave your pets safely at home. We ask that you do not
leave your pet(s) inside a car in the parking area. Pets can die in an
overheated car in warm weather.
PICNIC
BUTTERFLY GARDEN: Convenient to the parking area, and just behind the Aussie Outpost
Giftshop, is our picnic area offering numerous tables in a shady garden
overlooking a kangaroo habitat. Visitors may purchase light snacks in the
Aussie Outpost or bring their own prepared food (no grilling/cooking for fire
safety reasons).
OTHER ZOO MEMBERSHIPS: As a special courtesy to
AZA members and members of AZA zoological facilities, we offer 10% off
merchandise purchases from the Aussie Outpost Gift Shop. (This is for the
cardholder only, must show card and I.D. prior to purchase.) There are no
discounts for admission prices.
Thank you for your
interest in the Kangaroo Conservation Center. Your admission and giftshop
purchases support our Center and our animal conservation programs. We look
forward to seeing you soon!
