Mission

The Dallas Arboretum is one of the most magnificent gardens in the nation, a visual banquet that is ablaze in color year-round. The fragrant gardens and lush lawns, on the shores of an enchanting lake that overlooks downtown Dallas, also feature intriguing sculptures, sparkling fountains, and two historic mansions. Young and old alike enjoy year-round activities for the entire family. At any time, it's a memory for couples to share, a place where children have the space to be children, with plenty of room for those seeking solitude amidst beauty.
