    Great trip!

    We enjoyed the dog friendly walk, the views and just being there! It’s worth the trip.

    Great short walking path w/excellent view of Sculpture

    While dogs aren't allowed past the main entrance pillars, there is a short dog friendly walk with an awesome, unpopulated view of the sculpture. Take the dog out of the car, walk to the front entrance and follow the yellow paw prints! It's really awesome they have this path! The parking garage has a few levels, as well, so there is shaded spots.
