Review:

The Arboretum is a year round Lexington staple. The University of Kentucky owns and operates this 100-acre space, which features seasonal activities and attractions within the various garden spaces. A children’s garden is located on the grounds, hosting a child sized interactive and educational outdoor activity area.

Additionally, a variety of themed gardens exist and act as both a conservation center and educational resource for visitors and academics. Throughout the year, a variety of family events and attractions are held on site, and they are outlined in a calendar on the arboretum’s website.
