From the reviews
We meandered through on a day trip to Waco and quite enjoyed our time here. There was a lovely, intimate wedding in progress, but there was plenty of space for us to not be an interruption. This is a great place to be amongst the beauty of well curated nature.
As a photographer, the Carleen Bright Arboretum has been one of my favorite places to preserve the wedding day of my clients in Central Texas. The landscape is lovely and the hall is a great size for a large guest count and plenty of dancing. Everything is extremely well-maintained.
Awesome and beautiful place to visit and explore. The trail going deeper into the woods has good sights to take some nice snaps. Would totally recommend. Also, it's a gorgeous place for weddings. Staff is very helpful. Definitely a place to consider.
Beautiful place!! Lots of greenery and well cared for plants!! A very good place for any photo shoots or small weddings. Nice and clean trails
