the arboretum

Visited the Arboretum to find three Geocaches which are hidden there. Although this was during storm Octavia, the place looked so lovely in the snow especially with the blue sky.

Great place for a walk or a jog. Lots of paved paths but there is also a nice wooded area, makes you feel like you're far away from the city.

Spent 2 hours walking around arboretum on the campus of University of Kentucky. A beautiful place to visit.

I love walking the trails of the arboretum all year round. The voluntary groundskeepers do a great job keeping the trails interesting.

Located near UK Campus. Great place to take a jog or a walk. Lots of pretty plants, flowers, etc. Take a blanket and a book and stretch out on the grass and enjoy the sun and sky.

The arboretum is an easily accessible haven in the heart of the city, right by the UK campus. I love going there to run and take in the beautiful foliage. The path around is about 2 miles around, and there are always plenty of other runners out there too.

With three paved loops, walkers, runners, strollers, and dog walkers have lots of room to enjoy outside exercise. The loops pass through beautiful landscapes portraying the diverse vegetation of Kentucky while providing a variety of rolling hills. Parking is always available.

The Arboretum is a gem in Lexington. It is a wonderful place to exercise, take a gentle stroll, walk a dog, or just visit the exhibits of various native plants. The gardens are beautiful.

We had a few hours to kill and drove to the Arboretum. First of all we were pleasantly surprised to see that there is no charge to get in, at least on the Sunday we visited. As this was October the gardens were decorated for Halloween. The various gardens are in good to fair shape compared to other arboretums we've visited but those also charged you a fee to get in. All in all we'd probably stop here for a relaxing few hours the next time we are in Lexington.

Don't come at the end of November. Everything is dead, HAHA! 5 stars because I've seen it so many times during the summer and it's beautiful but dragging the family here today was a humorous experience. It was a nice walk, even though there wasn't a single flower left!

This is a very nice place to walk or run, they have paved paths. They also have lots of beautiful spots for pictures. I've taken tours about tree info - very informative. They have lots of student activities available. Again, I suggest looking at there website.But if you just want to see lots of gorgeous trees and gardens - it is a perfect place.Onsite bathrooms too

enjoyed all the scarcrows scattered around. The day was 80 temps and with all the flowers blooming it was amazing

It is an amazing place to run or walk around in the back of a quiet neighborhood and located just off of UK's campus. The staff is preserving the environment in the arboretum and continue to add great features. You can also get a great view of the upcoming and new Commonwealth stadium renovations.

We had a wonderful visit to the arboretum while we were in town. The kids loved all the old tree truck that were hollowed out, they were climbing on them most of the morning. The rose garden was just as beautiful. Plenty of paved trails for walking or running and lots of open space for the kids to play. The children's garden was SPECTACULAR - just make sure you bring shoes you don't mind the kids getting wet! They had a ball splashing in the little creek that runs through the front of the garden. Their next favorite was the grass maze.

It was just so hot the day we were there.The welcome center is open M-F and although the website says til 5 p.m., they close at 4 p.m.Restrooms available inside this center.I did see a porta potty outside in the parking lot.Lovely trails and would have done more if the weather wasn't 95...hope to go again when it cools off. Lots of plants and lovely trees.
