I have two corgis who love to travel.

We found this restaurant when we were down the beach at Kruse Dog Beach. This place was so delicious, super pet friendly, and had amazing views. The atmosphere was perfect! Can't wait to go back!

We found this spot on vacation when we wanted a little treat. They gave us pup cups with ice cream drizzled in peanut butter and topped with a treat. My dogs devoured them.

This restaurant is so awesome for dogs! When we went, there were tons of dogs on the patio. They offer water and even meals for dogs. I cannot recommend this enough if you are in Naperville.

We took our dogs in August of 2023. They loved it! And so did we. Over 3 days of going, we say only a few other dogs out, so it was nice to be able to let my dogs run freely and enjoy. As others have stated, the lack of boardwalk is challenging. The sand dune is manageable, but tiring to climb back up. The water and sand were beautiful. We loved how secluded it was so we didn't have to worry about bothering other people or the dogs running off. The only downside was the flies.

We have take our dog twice to pick pumpkins in the fall. He had a great time riding on the wagon and roaming around the patch. They also had several spots set up outside to take pictures. I would suggest getting there early and bringing two people per dog. It gets very crowded and trying to pick pumpkins and manage your pet alone would be a lot. We also picked apples once, which went just as well. It's a fun fall activity and nice to be able to bring your pet along.
