My wife and I really enjoyed our visit to the Arboretum. We enjoyed a couple of nature trails but really enjoyed the bonsai exhibit. This was by far the best part of our experience.

The gardens here are well maintained and fun to see. We loved the Bonsai exhibit- you don't often get to see so many in one place. We like the walks and enjoyed the food at the grill.
