Can I bring an Assistance / Service Dog or Animal?

Yes, trained and registered assistance animals are welcome in all indoor and outdoor parts of the Arboretum when accompanied by their handler and on lead. For safety reasons, please be advised the Arboretum staff may request to see accreditation (for example, a certificate, token or harness) or other evidence to demonstrate that the animal is a properly trained assistance animal.

All domestic dogs are welcome to walk the exterior grounds on lead. Domestic pets are not allowed in the Village Centre, Bonsai Collection or Pod Playground.
