Arboretum at Penn State Review

Wow everything was just so amazing. I could have spent hours there.

A lovely display of so many plants. It's an absolute joy to visit with a children's area, plenty of open space, and short and longer trails!!!

Wow, what an awrsome place to wander around for a coupla hours, for free. They may charge for parking during the school year, but it was free when we went. Flower didplaus were great, it seemed to just keep going from area to area, lots for kids to do along the way as well.

Beautiful for people of all ages. Really appreciated the children's area.

Fantastic. Very well-kept space that invites you to return.

Beautiful Hydrangeas today. Summer is coming to an end.

Outstanding venue, and a good place to take a walk and relax, or even exercise. They have a beautiful location for weddings/events. I am looking forward to the expansion of the arboretum for an even richer experience.

Beautiful displays and lots of variety. Wonderful Children's Garden with many activities for kids of all ages.

We love coming to the Arboretum and walking around. My only complaint is the parking, I wish there was more.

Good place to chill out. You can come and enjoy nature and beautiful view here.

Loved it! Amazingly beautiful gardens, and just overall a mystical wonderland.

Beautiful place! Wish I had cone in the spring or summer. Although fall season, it was still a great place to visit.

Well curated collection, will be amazing to watch develop over time.

Wonderful, peaceful place, great, ever changing flowers blooming, timed so that when one fades, another is blooming.

Grear place - great exhibitions- easy to walk around - children's garden to die for

An under-appreciated gem in State College. The Arboretum is beautifully maintained and free. Many of the flower beds are replanted several times a year so there's always something in bloom. The new children's area is beautifully designed so you're always discovering another hidden fun thing. Well worth visiting, and revisiting.

Lots of seasonal plants, and a quite place to enjoy a walk.

Calm, quiet and beautiful atmosphere. Nice place to sit and relax. They have a very nice area for kids too.

A beautiful place full of life from every corner of the world. Also there's constantly events happening throughout the year.

Loved everything about this place. Quaint, beautiful, relaxing, pleasant smells from the flowers. You can sit and relax here amongst the gardens. You can bring lunch and check out the views. You can bring your kids cause there is an awesome fun and creative playground. Also on the romantic side there is a sparkling fountain. I would go there every day.

Beautiful place for a walk, a quiet time, a lunch break.

We went in the dead of winter and still loved it!!!

One of the best and peaceful places at State College. I love the musical instruments and kaleidoscope

BEAUTIFUL! Lots of information posted about the plants that are there

This is an amazing outdoor attraction. Fun and educational for adults and children alike.

Beautiful spot to stroll or sit. Interesting plants and trees, children's area, and if you make it there tomorrow, ( May 4 2019 ) the will be bonsai. Stop in, you'll like it.

The flowers were gorgeous. Nice place to relax, walk and talk.

Very nice place to go daily if one would want to. ( like the Garden of Eden, perhaps).

Beautiful, well-maintained, manicured gardens, even a children's play area, and all for FREE. The sun dial was spectacular. The children's area has musical instruments, and many things to explore! The trellis, arbors, and water fountain were beautiful! Really enjoyable and relaxing!

Beautiful just beautiful. My daughter is thinking about having her wedding there

A nice little walk. The arborist work is good. A little small. I'd love to see more private/secluded seating. The instruments they have out to play are cool!

A wide variety of flora, many labeled with their Latin and common names. Also, some small and large statuary. They've expanded over the years and will continue to. A thriving, beautiful place, and a State College must-see.

Gorgeous setting, beautiful, peaceful. 55 varieties of roses.

It would have better if I went when it was warmer and it would've also looked better when the flowers are in bloom

The gardens were beautiful......Children's Garden was great. Nice to see labels of names. Lunch at Whiskers was delicious and ice cream at the Creamery made it a perfect day.

First time there since moving here throughly enjoyed it

Wonderful! Lovely! I always love this beautiful place. Walked down Rocky Top & Jakob Lanes, through Arboretum & by the interesting Air Quality Test Station.

Beautiful place with cool events throughout the year

Awesome variety of trees, shrubs, plants, flowers during all seasons. Awesome area for children to explore called Childhoods Gateway.

Nice gardens, we were able to use the gardens to get some great family picture

Well done arboretum, a tad small well signed and worth a stop if you're in the area and into plants

Beautiful, kid friendly, great experience , loved it

Great place to spend your day with friends and family.

This was well worth the stop for a nice easy walk but you can walk the extended trail if you have more time and the energy. Easy access in and out, just park your car and walk around a bit and see some interesting trees and flowers. There is a fun fake cave for kids. Benches. The grand view is nice. Nice bathrooms. Very open and visible from all around. Great spot for families. Nice map.

Great place for visiting at Penn State Campus in State College.
Beautiful gardens.

Great place for children and adults. Would be a great area for a picnic or a relaxing walk. Free parking!

A must see in state college! Fantastic any time of the year. Tulips in the spring are not too be missed. Absolutely great for kids to see and run around.

A multitude of diverse flowers and trees with many paths and musical instruments to occupy children.

The flowers are beautiful! Great place for the whole family to spend time together.

Nice place to stop for a visit while we were in the state college area

Have not been there since it opened until recently. I was shocked at how it has evolved. I realize the plant life shouldn't be manicured at an arboretum but most of it is bunched together, so you can't even tell which plant is which. Poorly designed and what a shame since there was so much property that could have developed into a much larger space for the vegetation to grow and be recognized. Sadly, it's second rate and amateurish the planning shows it...Penn State could have made a world class arboretum with the funding--even the Disney corporation would be disappointed.

I love how nicely they keep it and how accessible it is!
