The Morton Arboretum Reviews

Visiting from Arizona. Everyone should come and see this place. Get educated about our forestry. Peace.

Beautiful in every season. Well kept and maintained.

Always something to see and do. Trolls definitely worth the visit. Get those steps in!

Great place with variety of activities and oudoor exercise options

Went to the Christmas lights... was a chilly night, but it was a good time. Worth the trip and the cost.

Very nice place for younger kids! The Children's Garden was delightful.

Poor choice. Save your money and go to any of the near by forest preserves. I'd rather waste my time being arrested for throwing a brick through a Starbucks window than go back to this place.

The holiday lights show is amazing! Definitely worth it!

Beautiful place to see trees and plants from all over the world.

We got a membership as a gift and visited for the first time. The place is beautiful. I wish we had more time to talk around. It was decorated nicely for fall/haloween and there were tones of great photo ops with the kids. It was crazy busy on the Sunday that we went...getting in and parked took a while. I'd like to go back and check out the lights at christmas

Best place to visit during fall, it's a Picturesque

Very impresive but not inexpensive. Pretty steep for a big family. I suggest you take a look at alternatives.

Beautiful facility! Friendly staff, gorgeous welcome center with incredible gift shop.

Went for the Christmas lights.
Way better then Lincoln Park .

Been a member here since 1986. My favorite place on the planet.

Great light show.... You can take the tour in 30 40 minutes or take your time and stretch it to over an hour

We visited the grounds for a wedding. The gardens and grounds were beautiful and well maintained. That service staff for wedding were all very friendly and helpful. Food was great as well. Plenty of parking close to the venue. I am anxious to go back to see the rest of the grounds.

Beautiful place for a long walk or bike ride. The tour through the part was great too! So much history to learn, and so many amazing trees!

Largest outdoor museum of out door Woody plants in the world

Beautiful place to see the tree's and all the other scenery all year. But get a membership it's much less expensive.

We visit the Arboretum multiple times a year but we love the Illumination lights in the winter! Amazing display!!

Love the arboretum. Expensive for a one time visit but the memberships are worth it.

What more can be sais about this wonderful place. After a few visits I will now be signing up for the membership. Many different events everyday. Would highly recommend.

Great place to walk around and see all of the trees. Only downside is that there s not that many activities. The lights event during Christmas is nice but seems to be the same every year.

The Troll exhibit was fabulous. Love the Arboretum!

Have visited the Morton Arboretum since 1957. It holds a special place in my heart, and springtime is even better than fall, because of the redbuds and other flowering trees. Trails are great, this year's display show, the 'troll hunt', was hilarious and well done. Go! for the first or the 22nd time, it's worth it.

Make sure to take your time walking through and to see the shows. Some have more then one and they play one after another. A cup of hot cider is cheap and taste great also will help you stay warm. Thank you for a wonderful light show. Definitely coming back next year.

An incredible natural setting with a beautiful history. The troll hunt was so much fun, and I couldn t have imagined a better setting. In addition, the tram tour was top quality, in the past I actually used to give tours on the same model tram at a different destination, so I understand just how difficult it was. Larry, our interpreter and driver, drove safely and gave a phenomenal tour. 10/10 experience, highly recommended.

We went to see the Morton Christmas lights. They were incredible!

Beautiful grounds and great hiking! Lots of bikers, trails are mixed - some paved, some gravel, some wood chip, and some stone. Well maintained year round and plenty of activities to do. Childrens garden offers education and fun for kids

Went on a school field trip with K and 1st graders. We all had a nice and relaxing time.

I love attending the Christmas lights event with my family here every year.

The trail is good, but the ticket is a little pricy (12/adult).

Beautiful grounds. Grandson had a blast in the Children's Gardenand searching for the trolls!

Beautiful place. I proposed to my now wife by the lake

My first time being there it took about a half wait in line. Got there on a Saturday afternoon around 1. A lot of people. Go early! Find out what the event are before going. Very large area there's a walking path or you can drive around.

Wonderful place to enjoy nature separate areas for children. They frequently have a variety of events

A must visit if you're looking for a day out in the Western suburbs!

Great variety if trees with many waLking and biking paths.

Bueatiful colors. Really nice short hike with great Fall conditions. Longer stay next visit!

What a beautiful place to be. Thousands of acres of trees, gardens and wildlife. Kid gardens and butterfly gardens.

Excellent light show on Saturday after Thanksgiving.

There are so many things to see and do at the arboretum. The only thing that I will say is that the lines to get in are crazy long on weekends, and everything there is expensive. I like that it goes towards conservation, but I still feel like I'm being gouged a bit. Lots of fun and physical activity for the kiddos.

Beautiful setup for a fun night out during their Illumination event.

Beautiful, with multiple well-maintained trails. I like idea of searching for trolls. Also plenty of education for various areas. Nice driving with stops for more exploring on foot

Did the adults only illuminbrew event. Lots of micro brews to choose from, beautiful lights, but needed more toilet facilities, especially away from the main building. Beer lines were long, but moved fairly quickly. Adults only was nice, and folks were very friendly, getting more so as their beer tickets got more punches.

Dog day my dog was so excited and slept like a rock when she got honey

We have visited twice and had a blast both times. One was for the fall glass pumpkin event and the other was for the bring your dog day.

This Park is magnificent, if you want to relax, enjoy beautiful scenery and get to know the Trolls up close, come and spend a full day exploring this Park. At the start of the Park you pay for your ticket and receive a complete or instructive Guide to the distribution of this Park. This ride can be done by car, skates, bicycle and if you come in the winter season use your snowshoes. It is forbidden to stay at home, even if it is to read a book with these beautiful landscapes that the Park gives you.

Freaking love this place. Childrens area is amazing

Always thinking of new ideas to provide entertainment

Beautiful, expansive grounds to stroll, sit, explore & learn. Store and info center now open, so nice chance to shop & cool off for a minute. Trolls are awesome .. check them out during this event extension! Don't forget to reserve your arrival time.

So calm, peaceful... And wonderfully maintained! Excellent walking, biking paths, and a very pretty drive if you have passengers who can't walk well.
