Welcome to the Dallas Arboretum Senior Community page.

The Arboretum is pleased to bring back the popular Senior Citizen Thursdays with a $5 admission price for those 65 and older and a 20% discount in the Hoffman Family gift shop. This is effective all year long.

The garden is a showplace all year long but now that Dallas Blooms has arrived, the Arboretum is a shining star of Texas. Our gardens have never been so colorful with hundreds of thousands spring blooms.

Our website tells of activities throughout the year. This Dallas Blooms, however, we have sculptures of all shapes and sizes on display from the Texas Sculpture Association. Inside the historic DeGolyer home are Texas-themed exhibits on Mobil gas and oil from Dallas Arboretum member Al Olsen; Stetson hats throughout the years from Hat Country in Garland and a Texas Rangers history from The Texas Ranger Museum and Hall of Fame. On the DeGolyer Pergola we have melodic tunes on the keyboard from Noni Dressler each weekday and other entertainment on the weekend.

Spring Teas at the Arboretum begins March 15 in the DeGolyer Garden Cafe at 11:00 am and 2:00pm by reservation only. Tea is equivalent to a light lunch and includes elegant tea sandwiches and petite desserts. The cost is $32.95 per person and a Champagne Tea is available at $41.25 per person. Reservations can be made by calling 214-515-6512. Luncheon service without reservation is available on the Lula Mae Slaughter Dining Terrace at the Visitor Education Pavilion or the loggia of the DeGolyer Home.

The Hoffman Family Gift Shop is fully stocked with all kinds of wonderful, decorative accents for your home, garden or loved ones. You can even shop late with new extended hours until 6pm. Remember to ask for a senior discount of 20% if come in on Thursday.

The Dallas Arboretum is handicap accessible and has a limited number of wheelchairs available in the plaza so that more guests may enjoy our lovely gardens.
