Service Animals are welcome throughout the facility. Pets are not permitted.
What is a service animal?
A dog or miniature horse individually trained to help someone with a disability. Emotional support animals are not service animals.
Do I need proof that my animal is a service animal?
No. You don’t need proof that your animal is a service animal, and you don’t need to describe your disability. We may ask the following questions:
- Is the animal a service animal required because of a disability?
- What work or task(s) was the service animal trained to do?
Can my service animal go on rides?
We do not currently allow service animals on rides.
