Animals of any kind (e.g., dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards, snakes, pigs, hamsters, turtles, birds, tarantulas, rats, mice, monkeys, ferrets, mini-horses, etc.) are not allowed in the water park. The one exception is for legally-defined service dogs or as may otherwise be required by law to assist those with disabilities (“disabilities” being defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act or other applicable laws).  Those legally-defined service dogs will be allowed into the grass and deck areas of the park, but may NOT enter any water feature or attraction.  All animals pose a health risk near the pools and water where other guests are at and therefore may not enter.

Service animals are permitted in all other locations of Cherry Hill including the campground, courtyards, mini golf, and other dry activities. If you claim to have a legally-qualifying “service dog” you will be required to verify its legitimacy, pursuant to applicable legal requirements which are then in effect. A “service animal” is defined by law, and not by a person’s personal desires. For example, a “companion” animal, or an animal that brings “emotional comfort,” or a dog which serves as “personal security,” does not qualify as a legal “service animal.”

Even if a “service animal” is verified, and allowed in designated permitted areas at Cherry Hill, please be aware that you are still responsible for controlling it at all times.

Please understand that we may require removal of your service animal from Cherry Hill property if it poses a threat to persons or property, including without limitation, if it is unruly, threatening, aggressive (barking, snarling, biting at patrons, etc.) and/or if you are unable to control your animal at all times.

You must make sure that your service animal has gone to the bathroom before coming to Cherry Hill. Once at the Cherry Hill, if your animal needs to “go,” please do your best to steer the animal to a grassy area outside of any waterpark gates, and away from other patrons if possible. We encourage you to ask a staff member to where your animal might be directed.

Cherry Hill does permit dogs and cats in their campground but requires that they are restrained on a leash at all times and that owners must clean up appropriately after their pet.  A cleaning fee or additional charge may be assessed for guest who violates this policy.

It is prohibited to leave animals in a car; in such event, animal control (or other government authority) will be called, and your car may be forcibly entered into, in order to attend to the health or safety needs of an animal. You will have to pay all such costs involved in the rescue of any pet left in a car and may face animal cruelty charges from local authorities.
