Scheduling a Majestic Visit
Our
schedules are unbelievably packed, but when we have
openings, we do welcome guests to tour our sanctuary.
For your safety, we do not allow visitors onto the site
during the winter season or when ground conditions are
wet or slippery. We offer tours for educational purposes
and to raise much-needed funds for our sanctuary.
Visits to
the sanctuary are scheduled by appointment ONLY
and are arranged via email. Visitors showing up without
an appointment will be turned away. Appointments are
commonly scheduled on Saturdays between 11 a.m. & 4:00
p.m. depending on our availability.
Visitors under 18 must be
accompanied by a parent.
For the
protection of our sanctuary, all of our visitors are
required to sign a
Liability Waiver upon their arrival.
Parents must sign for any minors under 18 years of age.
Please
pardon us, rescue work is unpredictable and emergencies
can arise suddenly and without warning. This may result
in cancellations or rescheduling. We commonly notify
visitors at least 24 hours in advance of any changes to
our schedule. Weather may also lead to postponements or
cancellations.
Because a visitor "no-show" can seriously impact
our schedule, and subsequently our animals, we ask all visitors to confirm their
appointments via email a day prior to their visit
(Friday), or their Saturday appointment will be
cancelled and the time-slot will be reappointed.
Please keep in mind, our schedules are very tight. We
ask all of our visitors to plan ahead, leave early and
arrive on time. Failure to arrive on time will likely
result in the cancellation of your appointment--as we
move on to other vital sanctuary tasks.
Tours commonly last about an hour. Because this is an
infringement of our sanctuary time, we ask our
non-member visitors
to make a donation of at least $20.00 per adult, $10.00
per teen and $5.00 per child at the start of the
tour. Remember, these funds go directly to the sanctuary
and the animals here. It's one of the reasons we offer
visits--to benefit the waterfowl.
Although we love children, our sanctuary is not
conducive to visits by children under 5 years of age.
Older children are welcome provided they understand that
they will need to use their quiet voices, that
emotional outbreaks are not allowed and that running on
the premises is not permitted. The ducks and geese here
enjoy their serene conditions and appreciate children
with good listening ears. Please use your good
judgment in helping us maintain these tranquil
conditions.
Majestic reserves the right to ask any visitors to
leave the premises immediately and without refund.
Depending on our waterfowl residents
and sanctuary activity, we do not always grant access
inside of our pens during visitis.
FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR ANIMALS:
Quarantine procedures:
All
visitors
must wear clean, waterproof boots (preferably with
good tread).
Any visitors actually
entering / leaving our pens or barn will be required
to step in a sanitizing foot bath consisting of
Virkon S and water.
Jewelry is not permitted:
Do
not wear
watches, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings*,
etc. Please leave them at home!
*Wedding/engagement rings that can't come off are
fine.
Empty
your pockets:
Please empty your pant, shirt and coat pockets
before leaving your home.
We will ask you to
turn out your pockets to confirm no foreign objects
gain access anywhere near or into our pens.
Cameras:
Cameras without straps or loose lenses are allowed
into the pens after first being inspected for
safety.
Still photography only is permitted. No
flash photography please.

Thank
you for your understanding & we look forward to
meeting you!
