The Morton Arboretum is a tree museum. Open 365 days a year for exploration, from 7 a.m. to sunset, we have more than one million trees from around the world, criss-crossed with 16 miles of hiking trails and nine miles of biking roads. Our four-acre Children's Garden features plenty of space to explore, learn, and play among trees and the natural world.

As the champion of trees, the Arboretum is committed to scientifically-informed action, both locally and globally, and encouraging the planting and conservation of trees for a greener, healthier, more beautiful world. On 1,700 acres are 222,000 plant specimens representing 4,500 different kinds of plants, along with specialty gardens, educational exhibits, the award-winning Children’s Garden, 16 miles of hiking trails and the Visitor Center, featuring The Arboretum Store and the Ginkgo Restaurant and Café.
