Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens

"This place was so nice. It had a variety of leisurely pleasures from nice walking trails that are easy on the knees to more complicated trails for those who like a challenge. A beautiful stream through the trails offering a nice place to relax. There are statues through the area to ponder and enjoy. The gardens are so relaxing with beautiful tinkling fountains great for mindfulness exercises. The koi are gorgeous, too. My family loved our afternoon here."

"Went out to electro glow the other night and it was great! The new set for the arboretum is incredible! The lights were beautiful as always ans the gnome and fairy house were in point! Such a great place and fun thing to do before winter really hits!"

"The electric glow at the arboretum is incredible! Spent an hour there and could've stayed for another 30-60 minutes if we had the time. It's beautiful at night and if you take the longer path (1/3 mile) the trees block a bunch of the wind so it's quite pleasant even on a cold night. Highly recommend this for date nights and family outings. Thanks to all of the people at the arboretum to make this happen!"

"First off, this was my first time seeing the new welcome center. It's gorgeous! The staff was very nice and the cafe was delicious. We attended the Electric Glow walk, and it was stunning. The pictures do not do it justice at all, you have to see it for yourself. I highly recommend taking your family to one of the night time holiday walks."

"Been here a few times now. It's very quiet and peaceful. Great staff in the office and kiosks. The model train area is great (even as an adult I find it neat). When you go in bloom or end of season, there is always something nice to see. Great place to just go for a walk and admire nature. Plenty of statues, structures, and bridges to keep your walk interesting."
