Good to go to for their guided tours, to ask questions of staff. Brochure and overall on your own exploration not so fulfilling.Flagstaff has many nonprofits and community participation.

It was a dirt road to get to the arboretum, however the area was very peaceful and the fall colors were very nice to photograph. Wandered around the trails and enjoyed the peaceful nature of the gardens

For a great guide to mountain planting and an idyllic setting, the Arboretum is a lovely place on the west side of Flagstaff. Docents were helpful in answering questions. It hosts delightful live music concerts on summer evenings.

It is a pretty setting but you can just go to one of the parks and see just about as much as you do here

Informative walking tour. Also enjoyed the wildlife presentation. The entry road is a washboard in places and lots of dust gets kicked up by the traffic.

We love this place. We have visited several times with our granddaughters, starting when they were very young. They are now in their early teens and still like to go there. The raptors are a favorite, but they also love to walk the paths and see all the flowers and plants, and they always want to hike the forest trails,...

Don't bother. Virtually nothing was in bloom! There were a few flowers in a tiny greenhouse. It was a waste of time and money and trust me I have been to several arboretums. This one couldn't hold a candle to any of them
