Dog friendly!

Let’s be honest, this is an alien themed tourist trap, but still entertaining. Admission was super cheap. Museum was fairly small but loved getting pics of our hound pack with the aliens. Staff were super dog friendly. Nearing the theater room you could hear loud thunder-like noise which could scare some pups but we tried to avoid that area. Overall a good experience. FYI, the Roswell Visitor Center is also dog friendly.

Fun!

Again, another alien themed tourist trap but still entertaining and super cheap. This is a black light alien themed haunted house. They did great with the decorations. Our coonhound loved it and was really amused by the displays. Our beagle got halfway through and got scared by some of the noises. Overall, we had fun and it was worth the price.

Best sand box ever!

Pups had an absolute blast at White Sands! Dogs are allowed everywhere except the visitor center (which is huge for a national park). Gift shop had BarkRanger merch. We did several of the shorter hikes which the dogs enjoyed. Later in the day we put them on long recall leashes and let them run over the dunes. They loved running, digging in the sand, and rolling around. Had an exhausted happy pack of pups by the end of the day.

Awesome place to run

Pups loved it! Just the right size for a few games of chase & fetch. Only thing was the dog water fountain was pretty rusty, might want to bring own water & bowl.

Great Park, Hard to Find

The fenced area is a great dog park, but insanely difficult to find. The address to enter into Google maps is 969 36th Ave. San Francisco, CA 94122. This will bring you right to the fenced area parking lot. Would recommend bringing own waste bags but there are doggie water fountains available. There are 2 areas, small & large dog areas. The park is spacious and clean.

Loved it!!!

My pups loved visiting the aquarium in Key West! Who knew there were dog friendly aquariums? The pups were so curious about all the fish, it was so cute watching them explore the aquarium. Staff was very friendly. It was a little on the smaller side, but still had great displays & presentations. Be careful in the outdoor sections on hot days as surfaces can get too hot for paws. We absolutely loved it!

Nice spot on the river!

This is a nice area to walk your dog in NOLA. There are large grassy areas with shade. There is also a walkway along the Mississippi River with nice views of the boats coming & going. Dogs must be leashed.

Absolutely Incredible Food!

Blue Heaven is super dog friendly. We had seating in the courtyard area and server brought the pups a bowel of water. The wild chickens were running around the table but our dogs tolerated them well. The food is the absolute best! We had the grouper & jerk chicken which was to die for. Desserts were pretty amazing too. Highly recommend when visiting Key West!

Very dog friendly

They welcomed the pups with bowls of ice water. Staff were very friendly. We had the shrimp, it was great! We sat just inside the doors with my 2 pups, a whippet & a coonhound.

Super Cute Hotel

The Magnolia is a super cute dog friendly hotel. Staff was great. Room was clean and we had everything we needed. We have 2 dogs, 47 pounds & 75 pounds. We didn’t have any trouble getting a room with the pups. The only complaint I had was there’s not really a place to take the dogs to potty right outside of the hotel. This seems to be pretty common in New Orleans though, not a ton of green space. We would walk them to Woldenburg Park a few blocks away for potty & exercise.

Nice Hike

This is a great place to hike with dogs just be sure to bring plenty of water and your own poop bags. The river is full of gators (as is any body of freshwater in Fl) so keep the pups away from the water!

Beautiful beach!

The beach is very clean. it wasn’t crowded at all when we went. There are trash cans on the beach but you need to bring your own dog waste bags. We had a very relaxing visit.

Prehistoric Fun!

Dinosaur World was great! The trails were really nice and mostly shaded. They do have at least one dog watering station but it’s more convenient to carry your own pups water with you. Even the gift shop was dog friendly and the pups picked out their own plush dinosaur toys. The gift shop was big and the prices on souvenirs was reasonable. They didn’t sell food or drinks that I saw so bring your own. Staff was really friendly, liked the pups, and were very helpful. They do strictly enforce mask wearing while indoors and encourage it if not socially distancing when outdoors. Since not all the hands on exhibits are open due to Covid they’ve dramatically reduced their ticket prices. The gem mining part is currently open with social distancing measures in place. The one minor issue I didn’t like was that I didn’t see much in the way of grassy areas for pups to take a little pit stop and the edges of the trail are roped off to encourage visitors to stay on the trail. I understand they don’t want visitors messing up the Dino sculptures but it would have been great to have a little bit of trail edge or a few grassy areas that aren’t roped off for the pups to take a break. We didn’t make it the whole way because it got too hot (typical Florida heat) so I would suggest visiting in the cooler months and bringing a good amount of water for the puppers. Overall, we had a great time and will be back when it gets cooler!

Park Is Great, Owners Not So Much

Review for the dog park: The park itself was great. The other OWNERS CLEARLY NEED TO LEARN DOG PARK ETIQUETTE. Things were great until we were in the exit pen getting ready to leave. I was rinsing my dogs off when a another owner brought his leashed dog into the exit pen with my dogs. He then proceeded to let one of my dogs loose when he went to exit. This could have resulted in my dog getting hit by a car or running off (she’s a fearful recently rescued whippet). I then had to instruct him not to chase my dog bc she’s fearful of strangers. DOG PARK ETIQUETTE: Do NOT let your dog in the exit pen with other dogs. This can lead to a dog fight or a dog escaping. Do NOT leash your dog before entering the exit pen as this can lead to a dog fight. Do NOT chase a frightened dog. Rant over. The park itself is really nice. It’s shaded, has watering stations, is super clean (people clearly do pick up here), and has a dog rinsing station. It’s mostly mulched with some grassy areas. There were a few mud puddles but we came right after a heavy rain.

Seriously???

I was really hoping the poor reviews were old. I'm here for Oct 2018 for an extended stay for work, not even for vacation and really need a place my dog can get some good exercise. So this "dog park" doesn't even look safe for dogs. The fencing is falling down in some areas, there are holes started by other dogs under the fence, plastic trash all over the ground. The surface is mulch with some grassy patches. The weeds have grown up along the fence. The water source is a broken water hose. I'm extremely disappointed.

About the beach situation, it is a $290 fine on first offense for a dog on the beach. I think it would be in the city's interest to either improve (dramatically) the dog park or allow dogs on the beach, at least for certain hours or a specified stretch of the beach. If dog waste is the issue they could require dogs to have some type of permit to be on the beach. I would willingly pay a fee to allow my dog on the beach. The fee money could go to a dog poop DNA registry (ex. PooPrints) and then anyone who did not clean up on the beach could be fined whether or not they were caught in the act.

I have heard there are dog friendly beaches on Hilton Head Island less than an hour north of here so we'll be checking that out.
