Taking your toddler to a petting zoo or an animal exhibit can be fun and educational. When you go:
- Find the hand washing stations as soon as you get there. And make use the sanitizer dispensers often.
- Don't take food or drink in with the animals. Leave strollers, pacifiers, and cups outside, too.
- Don't let an animal lick your child.
- Wash your toddler's hands when you leave, even if he didn't pet an animal.
- Don't try samples of raw, unpasteurized milk.
