The Boone County Arboretum is open daily, free of charge, from dawn to dusk year-round. It contains more than 2,700 trees and shrubs. The collections will captivate everyone from the avid plantsman to the average homeowner. You will see specialized arrangements of plant families to obscure selections rarely observed by the public eye.
The Arboretum encompasses 121 acres, and has over 2 miles of paved walking trails, winding through our various plant collections, woodland settings, and athletic fields. Three informational kiosks are located at the main trail entrances. Here you will find horticultural information, Extension class offerings, and our Arboretum map, all free to the public. Special attractions at the Arboretum include the Children’s Garden, a Wildlife Viewing area in our Native Kentucky Prairie, and a new Woodland Walking Trail (unpaved).
Many species of birds are visible as well as many types of "woodland" animals.
