My Discounts Bring All the Dogs to the Yard

We're opening this summer. And right now, you can become a member at the lowest prices we'll ever offer.
Zoomies is a 24,000 square foot indoor dog park, bar, and café — a place where your dog runs free in a monitored play space while you grab a drink, meet other dog people, and actually relax.
We've been building toward this moment for a long time. And before we open the doors, we wanted to give you — our early community — first access to memberships at prices that will never be this low again.
What's cooking: We have a few membership tiers available right now, from One Month all the way up to Lifetime. The higher you go, the more you save — and the Founding Member and Lifetime options come loaded with perks you won't be able to get once we open our doors.
The top-tier spots are limited. Once they sell out, they're gone for good.
But before we get into the details — holy cow, January was a month.
Since our last update, our community has exploded from 2,500 followers to nearly 15,000 across our socials. We've been featured in the news three separate times (!!!) and the thing that blows our minds the most? How genuinely kind everyone has been. The internet can be a ruthless place, but we've received nothing but love, support, and excitement from the Chicago dog community. We truly appreciate you all.
That momentum hit a peak on January 10th, when we hosted our first open house at the building (3455 N. Elston Ave). More than 250 of you showed up — and getting to meet future members face-to-face was one of our most rewarding Zoomies moments so far.
Hearing what you're excited about, what you're curious (or even skeptical) about, and what matters most to you is actively shaping how we build this thing. You're not just joining a dog park, you're helping to make it the best it can possibly be.
Huge thanks to our incredible open-house volunteers: Kayla, Carson, Sara, Justin, Alex, Morgyn, Nilda, Angelica, and Ryan
Shout-out to our collaborators who came out to support:
Now — let's talk about snagging your spot.
Some of you were early enough to grab our original $1 VIP reservations. If that was you — congrats, you're legends, and you've already gotten the best deal we'll ever offer.
For everyone else, the VIP window is officially closed, but early bird memberships are still massively discounted from the pricing that will be available once we're open.
Here's how to think about the tiers:
🐾 One Month & Annual — Great entry points. Unlimited park access for you and your pup and a free nail trim every month. Annual saves you more per month and locks in your discount for the full year. Additional dogs in the same household can be added to your membership at 50% off.
🏆 Founding Member (Limited Quantity) — Everything in Annual, plus 10 service credits (used for daycare, boarding, grooming), exclusive Zoomies swag, a custom plaque displayed in the park, and bragging rights forever. When these sell out, they're gone. Period.
🔥 Lifetime Member (Extremely Limited) — The ultimate supporter. Everything in Founding, plus an additional 10 credits and an even bigger custom plaque. Oh, and one last thing...you and every pup in your household get access to Zoomies forever. This is for the people who looked at Zoomies and immediately thought, "Say less."
The limited tiers disappear the day we open — or sooner.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most:
Is access to the private runs included? Yes. Members can reserve and use private runs at no additional charge.
Are daycare, boarding, and grooming included? Founding and Lifetime memberships include service credits (daycare = 1 credit, boarding = 2 credits, grooming = 3 credits). Monthly and Annual members can take advantage of all of these services à la carte.
All memberships include unlimited park access and one free nail trim per month.
My membership includes swag and a plaque — what's next? We'll reach out directly closer to opening to collect sizing, preferences, and delivery details, along with instructions to customize your plaque, which will be prominently displayed in the space as part of Zoomies forever.
How long are the early bird offers available? Founding and Lifetime offers end once we open — or once they sell out, whichever comes first. That's it. We'll continue to discount One Month and Annual passes up to opening, but the discounts will get lighter as we get closer to our grand opening.
If your pack would love a place to get their Zoomies out year round, don't wait. Now is the time to secure your membership at the lowest price it will ever be.
What happens after I sign up? You'll get immediate access to our member portal to manage your membership. As we get closer to opening, we'll send out a notification to submit your pups' vet records. Once our team reviews and approves, we'll see you there! For Monthly + Annual members, your membership activates on your first visit, not on the first day we're open.
What if I change my mind? No-questions-asked refunds anytime before opening minus the cost of processing fees.
Just email info@zoomieschicago.com. Zero risk.
Quick build-out update: Things are moving along as planned and on schedule. We're getting closer to kicking off construction and still tracking toward a summer opening. More to come on that soon, but the wheels are very much in motion and we couldn't be more excited.
One more thing: Every membership sold right now helps us build this place the way it deserves to be built. When you join early, you're not just getting a great deal — you're voting with your wallet that Chicago needs this. And we couldn't agree more.
That's the update — short, sweet, and hella exciting from where we're sitting. Thanks for following along, cheering us on, and helping turn this vision into a reality.
See you soon,
Devon
