One of the coolest ways to enjoy Salem with your pup? A walk through the Punto Urban Art Museum—an outdoor art experience with over 75 murals by both world-renowned and local artists. This isn’t your average museum—it’s a free, open-air gallery that spans a few walkable blocks in Salem’s vibrant El Punto neighborhood.
You and your dog can soak in stunning, large-scale art (including dog and animal themes, like the “Chrome Dog”) that tells stories of culture, community, and creativity—no tickets, no lines, no “no dogs allowed” signs. After you’ve taken in all that amazing art, stroll over to dog-friedly Notch Brewing, just a few minutes away. .
