Back to Arboretum at Flagstaff Nice place and worth visiting - but.. The guided tour and the birds of prey exhibition were really good. BUT be prepared for a 'bone shaking' ride to get there. The roads have not been paved and so you drive over a 'rutted' road surface for about three miles.
Reviewed by: Paul from on Sep 30 2009 Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful It was breathtaking and beautiful. The plants are well-tended, nicely labeled, and arranged in marvelous locations. The different garden areas (childrens', herbs, pond, wetlands, etc) were all very well done and the informational signs were very nice. The path system is very nice and easily traveled. My kids loved the tree ring maze and treehouse. The birds of prey were a wonderful addition. The gift shop was very nice and staff was very friendly.

Reviewed by: JB from on May 28 2009 Very Nice Great for the family.I would absolutely go again. We visited each time we went to Flagstaff in 2008. Do not purchase anything from the gift shop though....it will break the moment you bring it home.
Reviewed by: Sarah from on Mar 15 2009 Fun learning experience for the kids! We enjoyed our visit to the Arboretum. Many fun places to explore and learn about. My children especially enjoyed the children's maze made from cut down trees. Butterfly gardens, Sunflower mazes and many different critters and bugs to investigate. Fun place to learn about nature.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jul 14 2007 Small, but worth the price. The Arboretum entails a total of 200 acres but there are approximately only three acres, which are actually accessible to the public. The Arboretum is split into several areas that are small but nice; these include grasslands, wetlands, a herb garden, and a green house. For the children there is a Peter Rabbit story area.
