Morton Arboretum Children's Garden - Children's Gardens on Waymarking.com

This is a hugh children's garden (over 4 acres) for children to run and play and learn about the natural environment.

Built within the past few years, this area adds excitement to visiting the Morton Arboretum for the children who cannot enjoy the "boring, old trees."

To visit, you either have to be a member of the Morton Arboretum (WM1T2H), or reciprocal organization, or pay the daily entrance fee.

The current fees are $9.00 for Adults (18–64), $8.00 for Seniors (65+), and $6.00 for Children (3–17). Two-year-olds and under are Free! And there are admission discounts on Wednesdays.

Although the Morton Arboretum is open 365 days a year from 7:00 a.m. to sunset (or 7:00 p.m.- whichever is earlier), the Children's Garden is open every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hours are 9:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., March through October, and 9:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m., November through February.
