Beautiful gardens , plenty to see and lots of room to spread out and read a book or have a picnic . Don't forget to take the kids to see the hundreds of pumpkins . I've never seen so many different kinds

The garden is beautiful. If you want to secure a parking spot , make sure you get there early. You can also reserve a spot on their website, which is only $8 instead of $15.

Absolutely beautiful, should visit. Well kept, seasonal displays. It is expensive & you must pay to park . Lot does get full when busy. Great place to practice photography . Try the afternoon tea .

Meredith Warren

PERFECT place to walk around, enjoy the scenery and take that perfect photo. I took my engagement photos here and still find myself in awe at how beautiful the backdrop. Check the calendar for events !

Robyn Harman

I love every season at this place - always something going on at the Arboretum. They allow outside food & drinks, so make a picnic of it. Check out details for Cool Thursdays or the children's area.

You can't find many places in Dallas that beat the beauty of the Arboretum. It's so peaceful and restful.

If you plan on walking around, do NOT wear heels. We came for a photo shoot and, of course, wanted to explore the garden after. My God I wish I had put my flats in the diaper bag.
