Are pets allowed in the garden?
Chicago Botanic Garden has a well-defined policy regarding pets. Generally, pets are not permitted within the garden grounds to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all visitors. The garden focuses on providing a tranquil environment for its guests to appreciate the diverse plant collections and landscapes. However, service animals that assist individuals with disabilities are an exception and are allowed throughout the garden. It is always a good idea for visitors to check the current guidelines on the official website, as there may be special events or exhibits that have different rules or accommodations. For further details, the website offers the most current information regarding pet policies and the overall visitor experience.
