The Savill Garden Visitor Centre

The Savill Building, now known as The Savill Garden & Adventure Play Visitor Centre, was opened by HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on 26 June 2006.

Constructed using oak from the Windsor Estate, the Visitor Centre is the perfect starting point for your visit to Windsor Great Park. Home to The Savill Garden Gift Shop & Plant Centre, places to eat and drink and the gateway to The Savill Garden and Adventure Play, there is plenty to enjoy before heading out to explore the wider Park.

Expected behaviour for assistance dogs and emotional support dogs
Assistance dogs

Assistance dogs are highly trained to:

  • not jump up
  • not wander freely
  • sit or lie down at their owners feet
  • bark only when alerting their handler to an emergency
Emotional support dogs

We would expect a similar standard of behaviour from emotional support dogs. If your companion becomes uncomfortable or is not behaving appropriately around other visitors, we ask that you take them to a quieter area to regain their calm and focus before returning. This may also help them to respond more readily to your needs.
