University of Illinois Arboretum

Went to a wedding there. It was beautiful! Parking was close. We even were able to stop in the Japanese house and walk around. Since it was the spring it was extra beautiful. The redbuds and Forsythia we blooming as well as the rhododendrons and azalea. Overall the Arboretum is beautiful and I will definitely plan on stopping back in and visiting.

This is such a wonderful place that does not give the recognition it deserves. Well kept, clean Wonderland. Everyone should visit at least once, but the arboretum is constantly changing. I am definitely going back. Parking is well kept and easy.

The Arboretum is a beautiful and tranquil place. I love the fact that they are continually adding and/or improving the grounds in some way. It's grown so much since I first started visiting 6 years ago.

A lovely place to visit, especially in spring. In the midst of towering oaks, a curved pathway leads visitors beneath blossoming cherry trees to Japan House. Some effort was made to restore two ponds, and now ducks, geese, turtles and large goldfish can be spotted by those who walk or jog the perimeter.

The Arboretum seems to be just starting. There are little plantings, but needs a lot of weeding and work to get it where it's worthwhile for a longer stay. The adjoining Master Garden is interesting, especially the children's play garden ideas.
