Dogs love to socialize and taking your pet to places that they have never been before is a great adventure that will help stimulate them both mentally and physically.
When they interact with other dogs and people they develop more social skills and will generally become better pets. This is of course assuming that your dog has had some form of training and you are able to keep them under control in these situations.
