During Tails on the Trails events, guests can explore the on-site pet expo, featuring dog-oriented shopping from more than 40 vendors representing local businesses and organizations; learn about opportunities to adopt dogs; and connect with local animal shelters about volunteering options.
The upcoming Tails on the Trails pet expo event will be held on Sunday, September 7, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Dogs are allowed on the trails until sunset.
Event Highlights
Connect with organizations in your area and shop for training and grooming supplies, fun accessories, and homemade treats.
From 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., live demonstrations focused on obedience training and safe foods for dogs will take place near Meadow Lake Trail.
Admission
Dog admission is $5 per dog and is available only on designated Dog Admission Days and Tails on the Trails events. Each dog needs a ticket.
General admission tickets are required for people, except for members. Plan ahead and save on general admission by purchasing tickets online. Tickets bought online are always $2 cheaper. Tickets will be more expensive when purchased at the gatehouse on the day of the event.
Arboretum members may enter at any time without general admission tickets by showing their current physical or digital membership card at the gatehouse. Have your membership card, general admission ticket, dog admission tickets, or payment ready when approaching the gatehouse.
Rules and Restrictions
Please note that dogs must be attended and on a leash at all times, must stay on marked trails, and are not allowed in some locations at the Arboretum.
