The Penn State Arboretum is both gorgeous and free to the public, including free parking. There are seasonal planters, perennial borders, annual beds, rose arbors, pollinator gardens, and a koi pond with water lilies. It's not unusual to see people jogging around the central ring, reading on one of the benches, or taking photos of one of the prettiest spots in town.
