Reviews
A nice place to just get some fresh air and enjoy nature. Staff were very friendly.
Cute little place. I kind of expected it to be a little bigger but that was my mistake. Beautiful place for a short morning walk. Very quiet and Serene. Just the sound of the gravel path underneath your feet. I will say that the cantilever wouldn't deck around the Little pond is a little unnerving and feels a little unstable but I made it safely.
My first time here. It was beautiful. Nice trail for a walk with friends. I will linger next time.
Wonderful park, cool in the shade of the hundreds of trees even in full summer. The kids really love rolling down the hill and being able to run freely. Excellent educational and fun experience with several habitats represented and all plants and trees identified. Brought to us by LSU.
Absolutely loved visiting here. Very peaceful , It’s small but we spent an hour here and could have spent longer . We got some plants and the ladies were so friendly and sweet . I think it’s definitely worth a trip .
Absolutely love the architecture and peacefulness. We been going to arboretums around the country, this is a cute place to make a stop. Not busy on a memorial weekend. They also have a small nursery.
Interesting & peaceful place. Free admission. Very clean. Loads of information about native trees & plants. Majestic & massive trees. Loved our quick stroll through. Gift shop on premises.
Really neat place! We decided on this location for do a family photo shoot and they came out great. You don't have to walk far to pick from many different types of scenery and backgrounds for taking the perfect pictures.
