From the reviews

I always have a lovely time at the arboretum. The only drawback was the three weddings taking place so a few places were roped off. The kids section needs some mechanical work done if anyone would like to volunteer. They have awesome teaching exibits but a few of the exibits were broke.

★★★★★ — Heather, Mar 2026

The botanical garden is a truly lovely place to visit. It offers a wonderful setting for activities with children. Many beautiful weddings were observed taking place throughout the grounds. This venue seems exceptionally well-suited for such special occasions. It's a serene and picturesque location.
