Pets are welcome at Gettysburg National Military Park though there are some general rules that pet owners should follow during their visit. Pets are not allowed in park buildings or in the Soldiers' National Cemetery at any time. Only seeing-eye dogs may enter the park Visitor Center and Cyclorama Center with their owners. Pets must be restrained on a leash at all times while in the park and owners are requested to be considerate by cleaning up after their pets. If pets are to be left in personal vehicles, owners should be aware that temperatures in an enclosed vehicle can rapidly reach over 100 degrees on a warm day. The vehicle should have proper ventilation with adequate water.
