"• Beautiful place for photography. • Friendly hikers/walkers. • Great place to bring your kids to walk trails. • Amazing verity of trees and flowers. Was able to collect a bunch of different fallen leaves from different trees. • Hold different types of events... There's a Winter/Christmas event where you can come look at the different decorates trees— $10/person. If you want to decorate (I was told by an employee) to contact The Frelinghuysen Arboretum around August."

"Updated review: My husband and I got married in the Knot Garden a few days ago and it was so perfect. I never imagined that such a beautiful place would be so simple and inexpensive to book for a wedding! This is just the place, whether you want a no-fuss ceremony like we did, or to book a larger event. Our guests loved the ambiance, as we got married just before sunset. So memorable and relaxed. Original review: I loved this spot, it’s so gorgeous. My only drawback was that as a wheelchair user, I would have appreciated some more helpful maps and signage indicating pathways and their coordinating accessibility levels. We definitely turned the wrong way at one point and ended up on a pretty rough path! We got through okay, but had I been a more elderly or fragile wheelchair user, it could have gotten dicey quickly. Otherwise, the gardens and forest were lovely. We’re really looking forward to coming back to picnic throughout the summer."

"This is a beautiful place visit. There are benches all around if you want to relax and it's a great place to go for a nice walk. I definitely want to visit again next spring."

"Easily accessible and great parking. Looks like a great program area for youth and community gardening. Some of the gardens needed a bit of attention and seem to besuffering the lack of rain. Roses were gorgeous today! This would be a beautiful spring bloom destination or fall color change walk. I hope to revisit at a different time."
