Tips for a great visit
- Leads required: To ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, we ask that dogs are kept on a lead at all times.

- Please clean up after your dog and use the bins provided to help our staff and volunteers to keep the site clean and green for all visitors!
Additional notes
Whilst dogs are welcome on most tours and in the café, there may be occasions where only service dogs are permitted on certain special event tours, including the ‘Dog-free Tour.’
This is to allow us to offer accessible visits to all our visitors to Poole’s Cavern. If you have any queries, please contact us in advance for further guidance.
