Service animals are welcome throughout the entire Center. The Discovery Center of Idaho and ADA require that service animals be under the control of the handler at all times. The service animal must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered while in public places unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the person’s disability prevents use of these devices.
The Discovery Center reserves the right to deny admission if these requirements are not met.
