We want to ensure we provide a safe environment for your visit. In the event that a child under the age 12 or someone with a medical condition or special needs goes missing, we offer a search service to ensure we find your party member safely and efficiently. Please alert a staff member or volunteer right away. They will accompany you to a designated meeting spot and ensure the search protocol is started.
