13. NO! Non-members or deactivated members may attempt to enter the park in this fashion. You may be allowing an aggressive animal, or one that does not have proper immunizations, into the park.

Members MUST have their own key to gain entry. If they have forgotten it or their spouse has it, they MUST retrieve it before gaining entrance.  Top >>
