  • Nature Station is designed to be educational, safe, and engaging for high-attendance events. To ensure the best experience for everyone, the following guidelines apply:

    ✔ What Nature Station Is

    • A drop-in, flow-through educational experience

    • Guided by a professional environmental educator

    • Focused on observation, discussion, and learning

    • Designed for guests to engage briefly and move on naturally

    ❌ What Nature Station Is Not

    • A petting zoo

    • A free-for-all handling experience

    • A stage show or presentation

    • A replacement for structured classroom programs

    🐾 Animal Interaction & Safety

    • All animals are handled by the educator only

    • Guest interaction is guided and limited for safety

    • Animals may rotate or take breaks as needed

    • Animal selection is determined by the educator based on conditions and welfare

    👥 Crowd & Flow Expectations

    • Nature Station works best when guests visit briefly and move through

    • Extended one-on-one time per guest is not guaranteed

    • For extremely high-traffic events, Non-Live Nature Station may be recommended

    🌦 Environmental Considerations (Live Stations)

    • Live Nature Stations are weather-dependent

    • Extreme heat, cold, or weather conditions may require adjustments

    • Educator may transition to fewer animals or a non-live format if needed

    🔒 Right to Modify or Decline

    Nature on the Geaux reserves the right to:

    • Adjust animal participation for safety and welfare

    • Recommend a non-live station for large or high-stress events

    • Decline events that are not a good fit for animal ambassadors

    These guidelines allow us to provide ethical, educational experiences while prioritizing animal welfare.

    Nature Station availability for large festivals is limited and scheduled selectively.

Nature Station is a guided educational experience and is not a petting zoo.
