We also recommend that you remind your child where you are standing so they can come back to the same spot. Thank you for your understanding. This helps prevent crowdedness and collisions.

Sure, but we don't recommend it. Our events can be crowded at times and there may be loud noises including announcements, sirens, vehicles and other activities. If you decide to bring Fido, please make sure he is on a leash, bring a waste bag to pickup after him and water to keep him hydrated.
