Assistance dogs
As a dog friendly estate, all furry friends are welcome to join you on your visit, including assistance dogs.
Dogs are allowed everywhere except for our Children’s Zoo, however, Assistance Dogs are welcome inside the zoo after 2pm and be wearing a harness that clearly identifies them as an assistance dog.
Water bowls are available outside the Heritage Café, located in the Stables heritage courtyard.
Hidden disabilities and quiet hours
For visitors who prefer not to be here during our busier times we would recommend that you visit outside of the school holidays and weekends, particularly when the weather is nice.
Weekdays during term time and weekend mornings between 8am and 10.30am are generally our quieter spells.
Schools
If you’re joining us on a school visit and have any questions around support or accessibility, please contact us at waltonhallbookings@warrington.gov.uk.
