DARBY SAFARI WAVIER

PLEASE PUT CARE AND CONSIDERATION IN TO CHOOSING YOUR

TOUR DATE, TIME AND TOUR TYPE, AS MOST RESCHEDULING REQUESTS ARE DENIED.

We have a “NO REFUND POLICY” in place, as we are a small human family and team - feeding a LARGE animal family!

Every rescheduling request from a guest increases administrative fees, employees pay time and reduces the tour size without having time to replace those tickets, while taking away the available tickets for purchase for a future tour date.

A large amount of time, money, and effort goes into rescheduling every tour ticket which then means less resources to feed and care for all our animals!

Each request for a reschedule date is delivered to management and may be approved only under extenuating circumstances. If your request is approved, a reschedule fee with be charged based on the following schedule:

RESCHEDULE FEE: (*LESS THAN 24 HOUR NOTICE) $25 PER TICKET

RESCHEDULE FEE: (*24-48 HOUR NOTICE) $20 PER TICKET

RESCHEDULE FEE: (*48-72 HOUR NOTICE) $15 PER TICKET

RESCHEDULE FEE: (*72+ HOUR NOTICE) $10 PER TICKET

Any cancellation of a rescheduled date, for any reason other than inclement weather, will forfeit reservation and all tickets without a rescheduled date.

Darby Acres Farm and Darby Safari do not receive any outside funding. We rely solely on the wonderful people who schedule tours, traveling zoos, and their generous donations!

We thank you in advance for your understanding and we are so grateful for your support!
