Pet Policy

Pets are not permitted at Fernwood except for select special events. Service animals are welcome. Emotional support animals are not allowed.

Weapons Prohibition

Visitors are prohibited from openly carrying or concealing firearms, air guns, and other weapons on Fernwood property, regardless of whether a federal or state license to possess such items has been issued to the visitor.

Photography Policy

The purpose of Fernwood’s photography policy is to enhance the guest experience while providing limited access to professional photographers.

The quality of Fernwood’s guest experience and the safety of our visitors are of the utmost importance. To that end, photography must not disrupt Fernwood’s operations or limit access to grounds, exhibitions, or facilities. Learn more.
