Tails on the Trails

Tails on the Trails at Morton Arboretum is a full day out with your dogs among the sprouting spring blossoms! Take advantage of this exclusive moment to walk among the trees as you visit with on-site animal rescues and vendors. Shop, walk and talk your way back into outdoor adventures! FREE parking but non-members must purchase timed-admission tickets on-line PRIOR to arrival.

EXPLORE THE DAY WITH YOUR CANINE FAMILY MEMBERS

Bring your family and friends out to enjoy the 9 miles of roads and 16 miles of trails with your pets! Take a guided experience or pop into the children’s garden for exploratory time. But don’t forget to circle back to the animal rescue organizations who are seeking adoption connections, foster interest and volunteer connections. Then make you way around the local vendors bringing out some amazing items and treasures to buy. Step ahead of the day by checking out our foster application today or consider a compassionate donation to our 501c3 organization if your schedule is too busy to attend. Please note guests pay the regular admission fee. Both members and guests are required to have reserved, timed-entry passes (except for Thornhill Society members) and a dog admission pass of $5 is needed for each dog.
