Please note that for operational, technical, maintenance, construction, safety, health, animal welfare or any other reason any advertised exhibit, attraction or any of the facilities on site may be closed, removed, altered or otherwise unavailable at any time. The Company reserves the right to alter or cancel any tour, show time, park opening, park closing, or other event without notice.

Each End User entering the Company’s premises must wear a wristband sold by the Company to the End User or to a Vendor (“Wristband”). Vendor shall so affix each Wristband for admission, securely on the End User’s wrist in such a way that it is safe and comfortable for the End User but cannot be removed from the End User’s wrist without cutting it off thereby rendering the Wristband unusable by any other person.
Wristbands are non-refundable and non-transferable and accordingly may not be sold by the End User or passed on by the End User to any third party.
Each End User by accepting and wearing the Wristband and entering the Company’s premises warrants that they are in sufficiently good state of health and ability to be able to safely participate in using the Company’s facilities that they visit, and that they have no open wounds or communicable disease that could be transmitted to any other person using the Company’s premises.

Wristbands are valid for one single use, on the day of issue from the Vendor. No refund will be given in respect of unused Wristbands. You acknowledge and accept that should an End User wish to leave and then re-enter Cayman Turtle Centre on the day of their visit, the Wristband must remain affixed to the End User’s wrist.
