How do I ask this without being offensive to my people that are visually impaired? Do you get many people that come to a zoo that are blind or visually impaired?

Mariah MartinezGUEST
So the way I work personally is if it's needed for one person, that's enough for me.

Mariah MartinezGUEST
So if one person in 365 days comes in with a visual impairment and they could use a Braille map, they could use an audio tour, If you come to our zoo and you go, it's not a zoo for me, then I'm not doing my job right.

Mariah MartinezGUEST
So it started with those with autism and then it moved to like those with physical disability, you know, just kind of like moves.

Chili FallsHOST
Do you get involved with other zoos and what they're doing and trading ideas and trading, well, like animals?
