    We love the children's garden even when we don't have young children anymore. It's a magical time when the tadpoles arrive. It is such a beautiful and safe place for children to be outside in nature with their family and friends, the frogs. We also love the walk to the pines.

    It is so beautiful and fun. Our son is autistic, so it was a challenge and we had a meltdown too. Overall a good time. It was our first visit. The trails seemed to be a better for my son. Quieter.

    Great space for children to explore and play! Many different sensory options, from slides, to digging in the dirt, to water play, there is plenty to entertain all ages for hours. Very nice grounds that are well-kept. Friendly staff.

    Wonderful area for children to explore and play within a beautiful, natural setting. Places to climb, explore, dip their toes in a clear stream, look for toads and turtles, and to just be kids.

    Went here for my son's Field trip was great. Bring your own food and expect to spend a lot at the gift shop other than that I highly recommend

    I've been bringing my grandkids here for over 14 years. They all love it here. Yesterday my youngest granddaughter had gotten hurt at the creek. The staff were amazing in helping me with her 2 fingers that were bruised. By cleaning them and applying an ice pack. By evening she was good just has a sprained finger. Which now I'll be bring my own first aid kit.

    The weather was really hot that day. There was a big watering can from which mist comes out, which was perfect. A little climbing area with slides. Not a lot of activities. But still really nice and a beautiful place to visit

    My class had a fantastic day. From looking at the scenery to burning off energy in the play areas. I'll be returning with my granddaughters.

    Large well designed place for children to discover plants and nature. Can't see it all in one day. Bring a picnic lunch. Covered area with drinks available and close to bathroom (family one also). Seasons are changing the plants appearance.

    A fantastic place for children to discover nature. It is a very fun experience for children aged 3-10 that should not be missed. I would highly recommend that grandparents purchase a membership and spoil there grandchildren at every opportunity at this phenomenal venue.

    Had a great time there with siblings, exploring and learning the ecosystem there. But why are the stuff there got to be so expensive, though, bruh?

    This is highly worth the visit. It's a large area and my toddler had fun exploring at his own pace. There's a ton of activities to do. He loved doing the ropes and bridge courses, and playing with the ponds and mud boxes. We will definitely be back.

    We are members and enjoy bringing our grandkids. They love this area, and it's hard to get them out into the rest of the Arboretum.

    Went here for a 5 year olds birthday party. The kids had an amazing time. Fun different areas that kept them busy from beginning to end. Adults enjoyed being able to walk around. Peaceful and beautiful fun spot
