Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden

Dallas Arboretum
The City of Dallas Park and Recreation Department contracts with the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Society to manage the day-to-day operations of the garden. Dallas Arboretum tickets are available in limited quantities at City of Dallas recreation centers. Free tickets are available on a first-come basis to individuals only; no group(s) distribution. Contact a recreation center in your area for details.

The mission of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is to build and maintain a public garden and arboretum which promotes the art, enjoyment, and knowledge of horticulture, while providing opportunities for education and research.   

The Dallas Arboretum, one of the most beautiful outdoor attractions in Dallas, features 66-acres of spectacular display gardens that showcase incredible seasonal flowers, ornamental shrubs, trees and plant collections in a serene setting on White Rock Lake.

Events
The arboretum is home to seasonal outdoor festivals, concerts, art shows, and more. Throughout the year, guests enjoy both indoor and outdoor dining in either Restaurant DeGolyer in our historic DeGolyer House or on the Lula Mae Slaughter Dining Terrace overlooking downtown Dallas.
