Can I bring my small service dog? I can keep her in her dog stroller. She is very well trained for either walking or kept in her stroller.

Kay Asher | Oct 28, 2019
Amanda Nour | Oct 28, 2019

If it's a true service dog, I dont think they are legally allowed to say no. And people bring kid strollers in there all the time so I cant see why they would have an issue...but I am honestly not sure. Maybe call them in the morning? Sorry I couldn't help more.

We just went last month. I guess it's not the winter but close. We enjoyed it. The butterfly house is kept at a constant temp. So that is nice all year round and well worth it. As for the outdoor gardens they are kept very nicely and are peaceful to walk around.
