What is your pet policy?
Our furry friends are welcome and will have plenty of fun. Dogs must be leashed and under control at all times. Returning this year is the Pooch Island Dog Park, where your furry friend can play nice with others and stretch its legs off-leash. If any pet puts park visitors at risk, the event staff reserves the right to ask the owner to remove the pet from Wagner Subaru Outdoor Experience.
Is there a private area for nursing mothers and other baby care needs?
A baby care tent, sponsored by Perrigo Nutritionals, is provided with 4 walls and seating for privacy to nurse or change a baby. It is located near the front gateway behind the Information Tent.
