Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University

Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is a botanical paradise of 281 acres filled with more than 15,000 exotic trees and flowering shrubs.

It's a place that delights at any time of the year - the spring bloom is especially spectacular. You can walk, bike, frisbee, and sled downhill in winter.

The arboretum also offers educational programs, including birdwatching, conifer collection tours and yoga sessions in the rose garden. For families with children, there is a 'Wonder Spots' program, which includes seasonal exploration of the natural world.
