Every human with a dog will need a membership to enjoy the off leash yard with their pet. You’ll need to buy a pass for each dog, but don’t worry - additional dogs are 50% off. If you’re coming just to hang out without a dog, or stay on leash, on the patio no membership or pass is required.

Yes, all dogs in the off leash area must be up to date on vaccinations for Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper/Parvo. You can add your pet’s vaccination record on to the portal when purchasing a day pass or membership. No vaccines are required for dining on the patio.
-
No proof of your human vaccination record is required to enter. But you should also refrain from biting people and pets.

Your pet’s safety is extremely important to us. Since we are in Florida, the days can get quite hot which is why we have plenty of shaded areas and a doggie splash pad to help keep everyone cool. Our play yard attendants will also keep an eye on dogs to make sure they are not overheating. Read more on how to spot and prevent overheating and heat stroke here.
