Hi Brian, WWT Washington here! Unfortunately only assistance dogs are permitted on site due to our zoo licence and the other birds on site. There are some shaded areas in the car park but this changes throughout the day - we would not recommend leaving your dog in the car given the current temperatures. We hope to see you soon.
