Discovery Weekends

Explore the beauty of the Arboretum with your family during this season.

Fall Discovery Weekends return!

(families with children ages 3 and up)

Explore the Arboretum’s gardens and grounds as autumn brings amazing changes. Drop by the Stackhouse Education Center on Saturdays and Sundays anytime between 9 am and 3 pm for this self-guided program for families and children ages 3 and older. Borrow a magnifying glass (please remember to return it once you’re done), grab an interactive activity guide, and head out to see what wonders, big and small, await. There may be a surprise, a clue to follow, a mystery to solve, a chance to create, and always an engaging nature activity. 

Each weekend is a new discovery!
