SERVICE ANIMALS

The Children’s Museum of Naples recognizes the right of people with disabilities to be accompanied by their service animals*. Therefore, people with service animals will be allowed full access to all areas. Service animals must be on a leash and credentialed and must be in the control of the person with a disability or their companion.

*The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 2010 Regulations define a service animal as “any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition.” C.F.R. § 35.104 and § 36.104 (2010).
