The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is a 66-acre botanical garden located on the southeastern shore of White Rock Lake. Established in 1984, the gardens were created by combining the 44-acre DeGolyer Estate and the 22-acre Alex Camp House, which today features 19 named and plant-specific gardens. A family-friendly feature of the gardens is the Rory Meyers Children's Adventure Garden, which was designed to connect children with nature and boasts over 150 individual kid-friendly activities, including The Texas Skywalk, The Moody Oasis, and a Walk in the Clouds.

The Arboretum offers several dining options from the Children’s Adventure Garden Café, which serves tasty light meals from the historic DeGolyer House for an elegant dining experience with refined haute cuisine. Other options include the casual Café on the Green and the Canopy Café, the Lula Mae Slaughter Dining Terrace, and plenty of picnic spots.
