"This is highly worth the visit. It's a large area and my toddler had fun exploring at his own pace. There's a ton of activities to do. He loved doing the ropes and bridge courses, and playing with the ponds and mud boxes. We will definitely be back."

"Great space for children to explore and play! Many different sensory options, from slides, to digging in the dirt, to water play, there is plenty to entertain all ages for hours. Very nice grounds that are well-kept. Friendly staff."

"We love the children's garden even when we don't have young children anymore. It's a magical time when the tadpoles arrive. It is such a beautiful and safe place for children to be outside in nature with their family and friends, the frogs. We also love the walk to the pines."

"Nice children's learning and play areas inside Morton's arboretum. I think this is the main highlight of the arboretum especially if you have small kids. Lots of cool play areas and things to get them interested in nature and trees."

"It is so beautiful and fun. Our son is autistic, so it was a challenge and we had a meltdown too. Overall a good time. It was our first visit. The trails seemed to be a better for my son. Quieter."
