THere are actually quite a few, but LOTS of driving between them all.
Where exactly will you be and we can point you in the right direction! |

Well we will be downtown for the Tall Ships Fest and a couple museums but we are staying in the Ohare area. Fairly familiar with the Schaumberg area as well as Bollingbrook area if there are any good ones to be found around there.
Thanks in advance! |

Check out the poll at the top of this fourm. "Which pet shop do you prefer?". It should give you some insight.
