Montrose Beach

Montrose Off-Leash Dog Beach was the first of its kind in Chicago, and quickly grew to be a favorite hot spot for the city’s pup-ulation! It takes about 35 minutes to reach the beach by car, but we promise it is well worth the trip. The dog beach opens at sunrise and closes at 9 PM, and is most popular during the morning hours. Out-of-towners will be glad to know this park is open to them as well, but they will need to bring proof of vaccinations and their dog’s registration papers. The beach is free for use; however, local pups are required to have a DFA tag, which costs about $5. This park is sure to make a splash with your pup!

Navy Pier

Set sail with your favorite travel companion with Seadog Cruises in Chicago. Climb aboard and speed off for an action-packed 30-minute speedboat tour of the Windy City! If that isn’t enough for your pooch, there is another 75-minute tour that highlights even more of Chicago’s awesome local spots! The best part of all? If you bring your dog, you automatically get 10% off tickets! Your pup will love feeling the wind in his fur and seeing all the beautiful sights the city has to offer, not to mention all the attention he will get on his voyage!

Oakton Street North

Less than 15 miles from River Forest, Oakton Street in Skokie is home to a great bark park that has all the dogs howlin’. Pooch Park is an off-leash doggy recreation area where locals can cut loose all their city worries! The agility course is an especially great place for pups to blow off some steam and show off their moves while they are at it! Small dogs can discuss the daily events in their own enclosure, where they don’t have to worry about the ruckus the big dogs bring. Both the gentle giants and small fries agree, this park is one of the best around -- paws down!

Oakbrook

Mayslake Forest Preserve Dog Park in Oakbrook is one of the best places around for a doggy day trip. Only a hop and a skip from River Forrest, this convenient park gives owners and pets plenty of space to stretch their legs in a peaceful setting. The small dog area is quite large in comparison to surrounding parks, boasting about a half-acre for them to fetch and yap their hearts out. For some alone time or a post-exercise cool-down lap, owners can take their fur kids for a stroll around the park loop trail. Like most parks in the area, you must have a permit to enjoy this park. Permits are available for purchase online 24/7 -- so grab one and don’t keep Fido waiting!

Franklin Park

Midwest Magic is located on Franklin Avenue and has all kinds of props and books to teach you and your pup a trick or two! One of the coolest things about this place is it is staffed by real magicians! Just make sure your illusionist stays on a leash while you explore the store. If your pup is more interested in a treat than a trick, then check out Casa Nostra Bakery, just a couple streets over. With 16 dog-friendly outdoor tables, your pup will always find a seat to enjoy their gourmet sandwiches and fresh baked cannolis. Casa Nostra is a true old-fashioned Italian bakery and only accepts cash, so stop by the ATM before you drop by! This place will have your dog singing “That’s Amore”!
