The Morton Arboretum Reviews

A real pleasure. Forest & prairie with well maintained trails throughout.
Troll exhibit & Lego animals caught the youngsters attention.

A great place to go for some nature. There is plenty of space, so it never feels too crowded.

At the right time in the fall, the leaves are absolutely beautiful.

Great place to enjoy and learn about nature and greenery!

Great place to go with kids, lots of events to see and participate in.

Great trails, you can get lost walking one loop to the next. Tranquil setting with hawks screeching and such beautiful landscape.

I think this is a gem of a place, learn about trees and other wonderful things in nature. Great place for the kids and family to walk.

We went to the Illumination of lights. It was absolutely beautiful.

Great "Troll Hunt" at the Morton Arboretum fun for the whole family. Danish artist Thomas Dambo makes pretty spectacular "trolls" out of wood.

Love this place! Great place to go when you need a quite get away to think a bit.

I love going to the Morton Arboretum! I love the opportunity to be in nature in a safe place. No matter what season it is I always come home feeling rejuvenated!

Love Morten Abboretum all the seasons. My favorite place to enjoy the nature.

Always a great experience. The path of origami thru the conifers was lovely.

Lovely & scenic fall color vistas; always something going on (this time, a collection of huge trolls as you (& your car) meander along the driving paths,. But around one of the lakes, a display of creative scarecrows by students. Fun!

I remember reading in the Rev. Billy Graham s autobiography that he and his wife use to love taking long walks here when they were in college in the 1940s. I can t believe this place has been around so long and is still a big draw.
Before my youngest son started Kindergarten last year, we would spend a lot of mornings here. I would put him in a big stroller and jog up and down the hills. Lots of people exercise here in the mornings. The membership is worth purchasing if you are a woman looking for a beautiful and safe place to run all year round.

Is nice but not like amazing amazing... for the price I wouldn't be back, as you can walk the whole place in 30 minutes making stops, the most fun place is the kids garden, the jokes there kinda lame, but is perfect for your kids, they have a restaurant incase your hungry, I wished they had more vegeterian options, and more things to do for adults.

Really really cool lights. Different colored lights were everywhere and some were in tune with the music that was playing.

One of the best places on the planet for tree geek's

What a wonderful place - been coming here for 35 years - keeps getting better (especially for families).

A truly wonderful place, a Green Oasis in the suburbs, what a great place to walk around, do nature photography, or just come and spend time surrounded by trees and nature!

Awesome place to on nature walks. I had read it was a big Park with many attractions but this thing is immense. We had toddlers with us when we went for the Troll Hunt so we had to drive from site to site. There's a bike trail so I'll be doing that before fall ends.

The Morton Arboretum is an amazing place. From the miles of roads and trails transiting a host of different types and locations of flora, to the various architectural masterpieces dotting the area, you will find everything you need for a relaxing day.

Very, very nice place to hike and spend some quality time.

This is a treasure. If I had the Morton fortune, this is exactly what I would do to give back to the world. The winter lights show is unbelievable.

Such a resplendent and breathtaking place. Worth every penny and minute.

Great walking around on a cool fall day. The trolls we're pretty neat and definitely a hit with the kids. We were able to see some of the lights on around dusk which was a bonus.

A magical place to play in nature no matter your age...

Family friendly. Lots to learn. Every time we ride the tram we have a different driver and learn different things.

Love this place, especially when the weather is nice

Must go troll hunting before they are all gone! Great place for kids!

And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul. -John Muir.
Experience forest bathing, nature, birds and wildlife to see what we re losing at this living museum of trees. An expansive natural setting with hiking trails and a nice troll hunt.

My first time there , to see Christmas lights , it was so beautiful and magical..

This place is gorgeous, very peaceful and relaxing. Trolls were fun, but colors were phenomenal!
Light show has been gorgeous in the past, hasn't wait to go again. Starts Nov. 17th 2018.

We went to see the Trolls and it did not disappoint. It was truly incredible and fun experience. Would definitely come again. And totally recommend going!

Great place to explore the outdoors. The trolls make this place a great place to enjoy with the family. Parking is free. Entrance fee is only 15 bucks.

Always have loved this place. Great children's section, great trails. Have snow shoe and cross country skiing in winter. Concerts, dog day. Events for kids. Etc.

Beautiful tribute to the preservation of arboreal species.

We love the Arboretum!! The events are always fantastic with a wonderful atmosphere.

Nice place to have a walk take great pictures and breathe nature.

Well laid-out. Cool exhibits. I liked the maze garden. Lots of nice trails to hike on. Overall a nice place to spend the day with lots to see.

Great place to stay with family. Both walking and cycling.

Really really big area. It's a great quiet hike. They have trail hiking and a nice stroll path.

Fall is the best time to visit the arboretum! Be sure to visit the children s museum and go on the troll hunt!!

Beautiful! Amazing trails and sights. Don't go on the big rock trail without bug spray in the summer since you'll be bitten a lot by mosquitoes!

Went to see the Trolls and it did not dissapoint. I recommend going as early as possible because people flock there.

Very well organized and beautifully lighted. Colors and displays are memorizing. Definitely will visit again !

I love the arboretum! I just wish the gift shop was accessible without paying admission or being a member.

This place is so huge but so worth it i didnt mind the entry fee cuz its so worth it u must see 4 urself great for kids of all ages defiantly going back. Lots 2 do here and see i loved it just needed more time 2 view alot more

The chocolate weekend event was a lot of fun! The Toasty Cheese food truck was so good!

Great place to go and reconnect with Mother Nature

The only changes there are the seasons.

A great Sanctuary for the mind and the body!

Great place for family outings. Perfect spot to escape the city and soak up nature.

Awesome lights show at winter time and an adventurous troll hunt at summer time.

The Illumination light show is fantastic. I would recommend anyone to go. I'm going back again next year. I would give yourself 3hour. We had 2 before closing and I could have stayed much longer.

Went to see illuminations. Enjoyed the lights, but over crowded.
