For the safety of our petting zoo animals and the children who enjoy our property during field trips, please leave pets at home.

We love animals! We love dogs! But the safety of our guests (and our own petting zoo animals) is paramount. Our petting zoo animals (deer, goats, chickens, rabbits) are not familiar with dogs and may get stressed by unfamiliar animals.

We appreciate your cooperation to keep everyone comfy and safe, by ensuring your pets stay happy at their home.


Service Dogs:

Service dogs are welcome at Olentangy Caverns. Please know that you may be approached by a staff member for more information about your service dog.

Our petting zoo animals have not been raised with dogs, so we ask that service animals do not enter or approach the petting zoo area.

This restriction is addressed in Q26 at ada.gov. LEARN MORE
