Suggestions and guidelines to make your tour safe and enjoyable:

Dress for the weather. We are located by Great Sodus Bay, so the weather is usually slightly cooler than inland. And there is a lot of walking involved, so wear comfortable clothes and enclosed toe shoes. Waterproof shoes are suggested as the grass is usually wet even in the late morning. And if you' re planning on visiting the creek it goes without saying!

Visiting the Animals - Cracker Box Palace is a farm animal haven; most of our residents have been abused or neglected and are recovering from life circumstances that you can't even imagine. We ask as a courtesy to our animals that no one runs, chases or shouts at them and please, do not feed fingers to the animals; keep your hands flat-outstretched when feeding the critters. Some of their favorite treats are carrots, apples, peppermints, or animal crackers. Adult supervision of youth tours is always REQUIRED. Children must stay with the supervised group; for safety reasons we cannot allow children to roam freely throughout

There are farm cats who live with us. PLEASE DO NOT PET THE CATS. We caution that they should not be chased or grabbed. They seem friendly, but they are working barn cats who are not as socialized as house cats and may bite or scratch. Cracker Box Palace will not be responsible for anyone disregarding this request.

Our chickens and roosters may peck at fingers. Please don't try to pet them or pick them up. Cracker Box Palace will not be responsible for anyone disregarding this request.

THIS TOUR REQUEST IS A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOUR GROUP AND CRACKER BOX PALACE.

For your safety, and the safety and welfare of our animals, any persons violating the requests and requirements within this agreement may be asked to leave the premises.
