Below are the Crayola Experience guidelines for guests with Service Animals:
Only trained Service Animals are permitted inside Crayola Experience.
Service Animals must be under the control of their owner at all times and should be on a restraining device, such as a leash or harness. 
Service Animal owners are responsible for caring for and supervising their Service Animal. Crayola Experience staff are not able to take control of Service Animals.
Service Animals must be well-behaved and housebroken.  
If the Service Animal causes a disturbance or a mess, the guest and accompanying service animal may be asked to leave at the discretion of Crayola Experience staff. 
Due to the nature of some attractions, Service Animals may not be permitted in certain areas, such as the playground.
