Service Dogs
Service dogs are welcome in the Museum. As defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act, a service animal is any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. Other species of animals, whether trained or untrained, are not considered service animals. Emotional support animals, comfort animals, or therapy dogs are not permitted in the Museum as they are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA.
