Tacotopia is described as a "larger-than-life playground, a hybrid amusement park and Taco Festival" that shares an immersive experience and more than 30 Instagram photo exhibits—and due to guests' requests to bring dogs into the exhibit, there are now Dog Day Afternoons.
Dog Day Afternoons now sets Tacotopia apart as a community for dog lovers and owners, who have the chance to be treated to margaritas and margarita mocktails, while pets can enjoy refreshments of their very own with a "barkarita." The special Dog Day Afternoons held during the Tacotopia Tour in Santa Monica, California will be running every Monday until Labor Day.
Within the interactive exhibit, pets and people alike will enjoy taking pictures together and exploring fun installations like the Guac is Extra guac pit and the Taco Teeter Totter.
