The Dallas Arboretum is a great spring place to get the family out and about. It is not just about serene looking gardens and rare plants.
Click here to see for yourself...It is about connecting with nature and building family memories!
There are several garden spots that are ideal for children. First, there is Texas Town on 2.5 acres of educational fun. Here they kids can explore a sod house, 2 replica cabins, a covered wagon and tepee. If the weather is hot, you can visit Toad’s corner complete with a quartet of bronze toads jetting out 20 foot streams of water! I bet my boys would love that! Just imagine your kiddos splashing around the toads!!
Next, when it is time to picnic you can head over to Pecan Grove blanketed in Pecan trees and equipped for a picnic. Lastly, a visit to Nancy’s Garden behind the DeGolyer’s House will complete your day. The garden is a quaint serene setting with child size benches that lend to the moment encouraging quiet conversations and reflective thoughts.
I would probably use this time to unpack the kid’s nature journals and color pencils and have them draw their favorite part of the Arboretum. This will help them cherish our special family day and learn how to let nature inspire them!
