I would definitely give them a call and ask. I didn’t see any dogs while I was there, however that doesn’t mean that they aren’t allowed.

You can easily get to Moundsville, W VA and I'm pretty sure the Palace web site has very specific directions from there.

You can park pretty close to the palace. Once at the palace you can see a lot of the gardens without much walking. When I was there it was under constructio. May want to call ahead to make sure the situation hasn't changed.

We stayed in Pittsburgh and made trip to West Viriginia. The temple is on a beautiful hill. They have lodge and even heard the food in canteen is also good. But we didnt get chance to eat there. No wifi, no phone network. Calm , peaceful place .

we paid 8 i guess for 20 min or so

I took my parents (ages 73 and 65) to this place. The walk from parking lot to temple is about 3-4 minutes, if you walk slow. You can drive closer to the palace and park at its gate, but you have to walk about 5 minutes (include a few stairs) to go inside. My parents were able to come into the temple as well as palace (with some extra effort). We also took them to see the peacocks and swans near the pond and the rose garden. They were tired at the end of it but loved the entire experience.
