We only saw about half of what there is to see due to the temperature of that day. We enjoyed the parts we did see and hope to one day visit again when the temperature is a little cooler.Full review by roberg316

No pets. They put this online: Here are 5 differences between a park and arboreta/botanical garden: Parks are intended mostly for recreation vs. arboreta/botanical gardens which focus on Plant Science Research, Education, Conservation and Horticultural Display. Parks have functional landscapes and plantings such as playing fields and picnic groves, vs. arboreta/botanical gardens’ curated labeled living collections, interpreted exhibits, and managed habitat areas. Parks are typically publicly funded by taxes vs. arboreta/botanical gardens which are typically community supported by gifts, memberships and use fees. Parks encourage sports and dog walking vs. arboreta/botanical gardens where sports and pets are not permitted. Parks typically trend toward monoculture with little biodiversity (with exceptions for managed natural areas) vs. arboreta/botanical gardens, which are typically high in biodiversity.

Hello travel friend. I believe that you just need to get them at the gate as you enter. You will drive up to the entrance where there will be someone to greet you and you pay right there. From that point you drive up to the parking lot where you can then enter the shop and/or start your walking tour. The grounds are beautiful. You would not expect to find such a place in the city. Enjoy!!
