As members of the National gardens Scheme in the UK, we were excited when we saw the information leaflet in our hotel for the Arboretum, but what a disappointment. First of all there is a 3 mile drive on an unmade road through the forest to get to it, which we could only travel at 5 mph, and then most... More

The birds presentation is THE attraction there. Without them, the arboretum is just a nicely managed park with information panels and programs for children. The birds presentation truly took my breath away. They have a hawk, falcon, owl and a few ravens there. Raven Jack is the coolest bird I’ve ever seen. He is sometimes kept under a cover for... More

We had to drive several miles over poorly graded gravel road just to get here. I have to say overall it was not really worth our time. I should point out that we arrived the week after their first hard frost so it is probably a bit nicer during the summer. Overall, the property is much smaller than I expected.... More

Lovely! Made for a wonderful day. The many gardens were both interesting and charming. It would have been perfect for a 1st date. More

I am not sure what some of the negative reviewers thought they were buying - if somewhere calls itself an arboretum and you have to drive some way along a dirt forest road, then you should resonably expect the place to be horticultural rather than a theme park. The regular guided talks were exvcellent and informative and sort to draw... More

Maybe I had low expectations given one of the other reviews but I thought the Arboretum was a pleasant surprise. There is a nice trail and it doesn't take too long to see the entire place. My children actually were more interested in the many lizards along the paths than the flowers but at least they kept them (the kids,... More

The professionalism at the Arboretum is lacking. I had an 'ex' employee complete a verbal contract with me regarding using the property for my wedding. This same employee had the means to contact me to notify me of any upcoming changes, which he failed to do. The first woman I emailed was very quick to state that things had changed... More

We visited @ winter (Jan 2). Everything covered in over 1' snow - very pretty. The 3M drive through the forest was beautiful. They have just aquired several owls, hawks & falcons & incorporated this into an extremely educational & informative Raptor centre. Susan was extremly inspirational & knowledgable, as well as whole-heartedly dedicated to her feathered friends. My 16... More

This place is LAME!!! We drove an hour and a half to see it. They took a spot in the middle of some trees and bulldozed the trees out. They they made a swampy puddle and planted like two flowers ( not two KINDS, two flowers!) And started charging people $6 to walk through it! We walked the entire trail... More
