HUSKY HEROES | Dog Sledding Demonstration at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle

INTERACT WITH SIBERIAN SLED DOGS JAN 25 & 26

Visitors of all ages will enjoy interacting with Siberian sled dogs when Husky Heroes returns to The Morton Arboretum at 4100 Illinois Route 53 in Lisle on January 25 and 26, 2020.

Guests can watch demonstrations of husky sled-pulling and skijoring, a winter sport where the dogs pull a person on skis. Children and adults can visit the dogs and sled teams, inspect equipment, and have their pictures taken with the rigs. In addition, information will be available about husky adoption for those who fall in love with these canine champions. Please visit the Adopt-a-Husky website for more information.

This event is fun in all weather! If there is not enough snow, the dogs are still able to pull the sleds on wheels. Be sure to dress for the weather, this event is entirely outdoors.

For the Husky Heroes event, please leave pets at home. If you're interested in visiting with you dog, check the Tails on the Trails or Dog Admission Day events.
