I was very surprised about this place. It has a lot to do and you can't do it all in one trip. We spent about 2 hours here hiking. There are a lot of paths some paved and some with wood chips. There is a lot of stuff to do with kids with the children's garden and the different exhibits. When we went...

We were a little late to see the trees in full Fall color, but did go on the troll hunt and checked out some of the scarecrows. Had a great time. See the website for info on hours and the huge trolls made from recycled wood. Next thing to see is the Illumination. Always beautiful.

One of the most beautiful places you will visit, especially in the fall. Enjoy the trails, bike, or just drive through. There is an east side and a west side. Check out the trolls and other special events (like Illuminations, the Christmas light show, which is drop dead amazing). Admission is reason...

Went for the first time too see the trolls and Legos and it was fun. Trolls to me are very far apart lots and lots of walking or drive to them. Actually wish more of them. Legos were very cool. The food was actually very good also.. the only thing food is slow coming out.

Never been to a nicer place than this! 5 hours and we only walked half of the park! Poured rain all day and we had a great time!

Pros: great for singles, couples, families alike
Children's garden is great for adults too.
The hedge maze is amazing! They have a little one for children.

Cons:...

Have attended several of their exhibitions. Last one being the Troll Hunt. Certainly the coolest exhibit I've attended so far. The trolls are not only impressive, but hilarious too. My hats off to Danish sculptor Thomas Dambo.
I have not explored all of what the Arboretum has to offer, but very p...

Beautiful place. We went late in October. It was a little cold but you can buy hot chocolate and coffee inside. Very big place to be ready to walk around. Beautiful place to take picture's. There is an area for kids to check and a mine maze

This is a fantastic garden: so much to explore that it can't be done in one visit! Spent most of our time in the 3 acre children's garden with so many different options for play. Restaurant was delicious. We used a reciprocal membership from another botanical garden.... Two adults got in for free...

Fun day trip, but entry was kind of expensive at $14 a person for adults. Nice trails for hiking and biking. A bit over commercialized, with the extra fees for other attractions and a kind of cheesy gift shop with garden gnomes etc. Still a good break from the suburbs, plenty of trees, wildlife, etc...

Took my 83 year old mother here and it was wonderful. She is in a wheelchair and I could roll her up the ramp onto the tour tram and took the very beautiful and informative tour. Many of the paths are paved and easily accessible by wheelchair. I wish it were closer to my home. I would be there ...

Go see the trolls!!!! Unfortunately you aren't allowed to touch them due to the Covid restrictions, but they are still a wonderful exhibit. Lastly, the trails were recently remultched to and from the trolls so try not to wear flip flops or sandals at least for a few weeks until the mulch mounds go d...

gorgeous. Definitely mostly built for kids but it was stunning. My favorite part was the toad/frog nursery. I went when it was tadpole season and you can scoop some up with your hands, a unique experience. also they only sell reusable water bottles, really expressing how deeply they care and advocat...

We came here before fall but this will be heaven if you visit this place in fall season. There is dedicated gard...

A gorgeous, huge environment to explore - but be prepared! At 1700 acres, this place was far larger than I ever expected, so I wasn't able to see nearly all of it. Well worth it if you've got a day to spend outdoors. Will be back better prepared.
