We are always looking for things to do with our family in Dallas. I go to Trip Advisor often to see what is new or I may have forgotten. Again and again we return to the best place for everyone in our family, the Dallas Arboretum. There is something for everyone there and they change the color displays all year... more

I went to the Dallas Aboretum with a good friend of mine, and we had such a great time walking around and seeing the beautiful flowers. We went early (on a weekday) as reccomended to miss the crowds of people, but we DID catch the crowds of school kids. Looks like the Dallas Aboretum is a popular place for school... more

Dallas blooms happens once a year at the arboretum and it’s probably the best spring event to happen in Dallas. Although I don’t profess to be a garden expert, the Dallas arboretum and botanical gardens is one of the better gardens I have ever been to. I’ve visited several times during the year, but spring, during “Dallas Blooms” is by... more

We had never been there. Went on a nice day and had a great time walking around enjoying the day. Made it all the way through and took about two hours doing it. Would be a great place for a picnic. more

This is a great place for everyone - families, couples, singles. In the spring and fall the Arboretum offers Mommy and Me Mondays and Tiny Tot Tuesdays for a limited time. These events are great and we have enjoyed them. Picnicing on a beautiful day is the best. more

Visiting the Dallas Arboretum is the perfect way to enjoy the beauty and wonders of the outdoors. The gardens are GLORIOUS! Every member of my family - from grandparents to small children - love walking the grounds of the Arboretum, and Dallas Blooms is always a highlight of our spring. Put this in the "Can't Miss" category. more

The Dallas Arboretum is a favorite destination for my family. Our children, ages 6-13, have plenty to do. The beautiful gardens are a backdrop for picnic lunches, tossing coins in the wishing wells, and a perennial favorite- the "frog fountains". Dress your little ones in their swimsuits on warm days, and let them splash in the fountains. Younger children have... more
