TOUR LOGISTICS & POLICIES

We look forward to meeting you!

 

For everyone's safety, please take the time to read through all policies before booking a tour

  •  

  • Each household must print and complete a consent form (click here to download) and bring it on the day of the tour - if you forget, we have copies

  • We urge anyone who is feeling unwell on the day of the tour or who may have been exposed to the virus to stay home and re-book a later visit.

​

PREPARING FOR YOUR VISIT

  • Tours run rain-or-shine, with limited exceptions for dangerous conditions (thunder, lightning, high winds). If we have to cancel a tour, we will notify all guests by email with as much notice as possible.

  • Plenty of parking is available on site.

  • Pets are not allowed on the property and should never be left in hot cars.

  • Please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes (boots recommended).

  • Bring a closed container of drinking water, as the sanctuary is mostly unshaded and gets very hot in the summer. 

  • All tours begin on time. Please arrive 5 minutes early and wait by the Unity house for your tour guide. For everyone's safety, we cannot allow visitors to join after the tour begins.

​
