Guided Tours
The Dallas Arboretum offers guided tours to enhance your Arboretum experience. With a guided tour, your group will walk the Arboretum with an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide who will provide information about the history of the Arboretum as well as information about the gardens and plants. Tours can be customized to your interests and the length of time you would like to tour. They can be as short as 45 minutes or can last up to 2 hours. While planning your trip to the Dallas Arboretum, keep in mind our busy festivals such as Dallas Blooms, Autumn at the Arboretum and Holiday at the Arboretum. All group tours need to be made at least 2 weeks in advance. Tours are $10 per person with a minimum of 15 guests. The Dallas Arboretum cannot guarantee a guided tour for groups more than 30 minutes late. Please call the volunteer office at 214.515.6561 if you are late for a tour.
