All pups must be on a leash.  Please be sure to bring poop bags to clean up after your pup, and don’t forget water as fountains are currently not running as a safety precaution. Tickets will not be sold on-site at this time and all guests, including members, must reserve a timed-entry ticket online. Members will still receive a discount based upon membership level, but they must have a reserved ticket in order for Cheekwood to manage safe capacity.
