This is a fantastic arboretum. You should definitely take time to visit it if you are in Dallas. It is filled with amazing water features. The Spring blooms are fantastic, including tons of tulips and multiple cherry trees. We covered most of it in two hours, but you could definitely spend more time and there are many comfortable places to sit and relax and take in all the beautiful scenery.

Beautiful and relaxing gardens east of Dallas. The horticulturists just planted 500,000 bulbs which are blooming! The are miles of walking paths featuring many water fountains and seating areas. This garden is on White Rock Lake! It's so peaceful and calming. This is a beautiful garden & arboretum. I recommend paying it a visit!

Beautiful surroundings and especially so on a warm but not baking clear day. The grounds are immaculate and just spending a few hours moping around is lovely, although if you aren't a big flowers person, there isn't actually much of interest. A tour of the DeGolyer house is well worth it. The only other thing to note is that there's no real structure to going around the gardens, so you might be well served by planning a route first!

It is likely that I would have given this review five "stars", but the crowds were a bit of an obstacle. I loved the layout of the gardens. Everything was so well maintained, cared for and marked. I appreciated beautiful views of the lakes and the paths meandering through wooded areas and water fountains. Spring is a great time to visit, as so much was in bloom. A Sunday at noon is not the ideal time to visit! (Parking was challenging.) Thankfully, everyone was respectful. If I were to go to the Dallas Arboretum again, it would be on a weekday morning!

We saw great reviews of this place and since we were in Dallas, we wanted to see it for ourselves. There is a lot to look at, and the day we were there, the weather was uncooperative and cold and much of the foliage was not in full bloom, so it was not the greatest experience of you were looking for flowers in full bloom. The place is very well maintained and is a peaceful calming experience. We also toured the DeGolyer House and the docent gave an excellent presentation about the home and grounds. Dallas was fortunate that this acreage was saved from commercial or residential development as it is a beautiful oasis in the city.

This place is filled with beautiful nature scenic spots. The beautiful flowers, plants and trees immediately put you in a calm mood. There were weddings, quince photos, proposals, picnics and families walking around.

This is a beautiful park with a lot of walking trails, peaceful nature and calming landscaping. We visited for a few hours one afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The vertical landscaping installations were fascinating as were the various water features. There are several water walls and other artistic water features that should not be missed. Well worth a visit

What a wonderful way to enjoy the great weather in Dallas by exploring the magnificent gardens and the Degolyer family house at Dallas Arboretum. Shame my photos do not do it justice. Lots of shade and places to sit and enjoy the place even if the sun is beating down. Cafe and gift shop were both good value too. It is definitely worth a visit.

If the weather is not too hot, stop here. It's not too expensive, the walkways are beautiful, the views of downtown Dallas over the lake are pretty. I think it would be great for kids because they can burn off some energy. And there was a petting zoo there the day we went.

Excellent visit to a lovely place! I was surprised by just how much there was to see. Beautiful flowers, plentiful shade, awesome hammocks and a really cool historical house full of knowledgeable volunteers. We visited on Saturday afternoon and spent around 2.5 hours walking the park. I was inspired to try to build something beautiful in my backyard based on the tranquility we experienced. I really enjoyed the hammock park where you could crash in any of the 100+ hammocks under the shade trees. The historic Degoyler house was so impressive to walk through. I almost felt like I was transported back to the mid 1940s. Trails are kid and stroller friendly.
