One of the best ways to celebrate National Pet Day on April 11 is by taking your beloved pets out of the house and treating them to places where they’ll be pampered like royalty—or where they can simply have a fun, new adventure. While many malls and restaurants are now pet-friendly, there are special spots designed with fur parents and their babies in mind.
From cafés with pet-friendly menus to playgrounds where your fur babies can run free, here are five fun places to bring your pets:
