Cox Arboretum Review

This is a beautiful place with great scenery. Great place to take family or grad pictures.

Beautiful grounds with plenty of paths and things to see. Places to sit all over. If only the town would complete some sidewalks to make it readily walkable from the local hotel (s).

My girls called it the butterfly park it is a beautiful place to have pictures taken.

Great park. Parking can be bad as they fill up quickly

Beautiful place, and they do events. My cousin had her wedding there great time.

An amazing free benefit of life in Dayton! Thanks to the Cox family.

One of my favorite places to take my kids! The butterfly house is always fun for them!

We love taking strollsarpund this place! It's so beautiful

One of the best park in the area. Excellent maintenance....

Such an awesome spot to take a walk, and enjoy some outside time. A pretty large metro park, can keep you occupied for a few hrs. The buildings are spectacular in design, absolutely gorgeous. Glad the park is open during Covid-19, but the visitors center, tree tower, and butterfly house were unavailable.

Cox Arboretum is beautiful and peaceful. My boys loved seeing all of the plants, ponds, animals (turtles, birds, fish, etc.), and butterflies! We have hiked several times, and done a couple of trail runs. The butterfly house is great, as well as the educational resources available. As we no longer live in the area, I still recommend a jaunt to this little gem to everyone in the area! Bring your shoes, and leave time behind as you explore and wander!

This is a beautiful place to walk and we like to have our family pictures taken here. Unfortunately the water features have not been maintained lately and it has slipped a bit.

The rude inconsiterate woman working in the butterfly house needs to learn manners and not scold people if they are holding a flower before you assume and physically touch someone you need to say we dont pick flowers and maby explain why. She bullied a guest and never the woman a second chance.this is unaceptable i am aware they voluteer. But still no excuse to touch and treat someone so harsh on a special day

This place is my favorite! If I could build a house here and live here for ever I would. It is so beautiful and relaxing.

Always a beautiful place to visit. Allow yourself plenty of time to walk the trails and enjoy yourself.

My favorite place on Earth! Only complaint would be I really miss being able to feed the fish and turtles.

Nice clean park. Animals are well taken care of as well as the trees ect.

Beautiful park. We'll be back, because we didn't get to see it all the first time

This place is not only beautiful but a very relaxing place to visit!

Beautiful park with plenty of great trails to explore

It's a great place to visit. If you've never been, definitely got to see it.

Cox Arboretum is truly a gem in our city. I always enjoyed taking my girls there and getting their photographs with the Tulips when they were in bloom in the spring, or just hiking around the grounds, looking for the turtles in the pond, standing on the bridge looking at the koi fish, hiking around and going to the Butterfly House. In addition to all of these wonderful things, Cox Arboretum is also a great place to host your wedding reception or party. They have the Fifth Third Banquet Room with all of the floor-to-ceiling windows if your group is a larger then 100 you can always do a tent on the grand lawn behind the Fifth Third Bank banquet room.
