Sunday, September 28

You’re able to explore the Garden with your canine best friend every Sunday year-round. Your dog must remain on a leash at all times. Dogs are not allowed in the WOW Children’s Garden and Summer Butterfly House, as well as on our trams and boats. Fresh water is available throughout the Garden to refill your dog’s bowl. Look for indoor and outdoor drinking fountains and bottle refill stations indicated by water droplet icons on the map. Check out the Gift Shop for our latest selection of pet products!
