Ensuring our children’s safety at amusement parks is essential and here follows a simple guide:

Before Entering the Park, take a Photo. Snap a picture of the children to help identify them if needed. Also take a picture of you and your children together to help others identify your relationship. Bright Clothing is always important. Dress them in bright colors to spot them easily. Always have emergency contact information handy. Write your phone number on a bracelet or a note in their pocket. Choose an emergency meeting spot. Pick a clear place such as entrance or a store with a huge sign to meet if you get separated. Take a picture of the meeting spot.

We also need teach children about safety. They should try to stay put. If lost, they should stay where they are. If emergency happens, ask staff not strangers for help: find a park worker in uniform for assistance and tell the employees immediately with details. Don't go anywhere with someone they don't know. Then go to the meeting spot because our child might be waiting there.
