Dogs, including assistance dogs, may visit the garden on leads, with drinking bowls provided. The operator welcomes leaded dogs throughout its visitor spaces. Check the current seasonal hours and any event arrangements before travelling: the accessibility page gives overlapping March hours, so the directory does not choose between those conflicting schedules. Garden admission and cafe access have separate visitor arrangements.

Well-behaved dogs may visit outdoor museum areas on short leads under supervision. Buildings, shops, cafe and toilets exclude pet dogs; assistance dogs are permitted throughout. Clean up waste, respect visitors who are nervous around dogs and keep dogs away from museum animals.

Pet dogs are permitted in this area; access elsewhere is not confirmed.

Use the designated dog exercise area; the picnic area is explicitly dog-free. Observe signs and confirm controls for lawns, play and sports areas; this does not establish unrestricted access throughout the park. Leads and dog numbers need confirmation. The council lists usual opening from 7.30am until 15 minutes before sunset. The marker is an approximate property reference, not a confirmed entrance.
