Description
A visit to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum may be more kid-friendly than you think. Besides all the open green space for younger ones to wander freely, there are hands-on educational (and fun!) opportunities sprinkled in among the gardens. Drop-in Discovery Booths offer simple nature activities families can complete at their own pace. New topics every month to keep things fresh. The booths are open 10am-2pm, Saturdays. Included with Arboretum admission of $20/adults (in advance), FREE for kids under 16.
