Begin the New Year with $5 Admission to the Dallas Arboretum
To kick off the new year and encourage people to enjoy the gardens and the outdoors, the Dallas Arboretum offers $5 general admission, beginning January 2 for the entire month, with tickets also available to purchase online. Parking is $15 or $10 if purchased online in advance. The Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden is closed for preventative maintenance January 1 to February 28.
Dave Forehand, Dallas Arboretum’s vice president of gardens, said, “After the holidays, we all need some motivation to get moving, and there is not a more peaceful or beautiful place to come out and walk at the Dallas Arboretum. We encourage people to see the winter plantings and our horticulture staff prepare for the upcoming Dallas Blooms festival.”
Visitors can also enjoy an elegant, three-course Friendship Tea served January 4 to March 1 for guests 13 and older. Teas are available Monday through Friday with seatings at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Prices are $49 per person or $59 with champagne and include parking and admission to the garden.
