Dog Policy & Dog Pass Program
Art Omi is pleased to announce that dogs will be invited back into the Sculpture & Architecture Park as of April 22, 2023 through our new Dog Pass Program. Our dog policy has been updated through the feedback of Art Omi’s community and visitors, and we are proud to take these steps to continue to make the art and nature at Art Omi accessible to all.
Dog Pass Program
All visitors with dogs are required to register with our free Dog Pass Program in the Benenson Visitors Center to receive either an annual or daily dog pass. Our friendly Visitors Services Associates will have dog tags for annual passes, stickers for daily passes, as well as dog treats available for your furry companion before you begin your adventure through the Sculpture & Architecture Park! The Dog Pass Program helps us to foster community around our dog-walking visitors, and also enables Art Omi to communicate updates and advisories about the ecology in the Park that may be useful for visitors with dogs.
