- Can I use a stroller or wheelchair?
- Strollers are not allowed; visitors are advised to use a baby carrier or similar. Wheelchairs and walkers cannot be used in the free-roaming area because the foxes react strongly to them, so those visitors must be accompanied by a caregiver. Source
- Can children enter on their own?
- Because many children fall or get bitten in the free-roaming area, each child must be accompanied by at least one adult. Source
