点评:Lived in Illinois for over 45 years and this was our first time visit to the Morton Arboretum. I had to convince the Hubby to take the 1 hour drive but, upon arrival it was well worth spending a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the Arboretum!
We visited on a one day that Dogs are allowed into the Arboretum and WOW, there were tons of Dogs with their parents!
There were Exhibitors selling Dog treats, toys, accessories, Rescue Organizations and Educational Tents for Guests to visit.
TOP 5 Things to Do To Prepare For Your Visit:
#5. Wear layers of clothing and comfortable shoes.
#4. If Hiking, recommend bug spray.
#3. There are several Bathrooms located by the Visitor Center and some are scattered on the West side. We prefer indoor plumbing, highly recommend using the Bathrooms by the Visitor Center.
#2. Bring plenty of water and snacks.
#1. Purchase Tickets Online before you arrive.
After entering the Arboretum and having your tickets scanned, attendants will direct you to a parking lot.
If this is your first visit, I highly recommend spending the extra $ for a narrated Tram Tour. Tickets can be purchased inside the Visitor Center. Larry was our Guide for the next hour and he was super informative about the history of the Arboretum, the different trees and the Morton (SALT) Family.
There are actually 2 sides to the Arboretum: East (primary) and West (Hiking).
After our Tram tour we refueled with a snack purchased from the outdoor food venue. We then walked around the different Gardens surrounding the Visitor Center. This is wear comfy shoes and water comes into play. You can keep walking and walking until you are now on the west side of the Arboretum.
We decided to drive and visit the West side by car. Much faster.
If you like hiking and exploring nature, I recommend at least 3 -4+ hours at the Arboretum!
翻译:在伊利诺伊州生活了 45 多年,这是我们第一次参观莫顿植物园。我不得不说服丈夫开车 1 小时,但到达后,在植物园度过一个美丽的周日下午非常值得!
我们参观的那天是允许狗进入植物园的一天,哇,那里有好多狗和它们的父母!
有参展商出售狗零食、玩具、配饰、救援组织和教育帐篷供客人参观。
为您的参观做准备的 5 大事项:
#5。穿多层衣服和舒适的鞋子。
#4。如果徒步旅行,建议使用杀虫剂。
#3。游客中心附近有几个卫生间,有些分散在西侧。我们更喜欢室内管道,强烈建议使用游客中心附近的卫生间。
#2。带上足够的水和零食。
#1。到达前在线购买门票。
进入植物园并扫描门票后,工作人员会将您引导至停车场。
如果这是您的第一次参观,我强烈建议您多花点钱参加有解说的有轨电车之旅。门票可在游客中心内购买。接下来的一个小时里,拉里担任我们的导游,他对植物园的历史、不同的树木和莫顿 (SALT) 家族的历史了如指掌。
植物园实际上有两个方向:东(主要方向)和西(徒步旅行)。
乘坐电车游览后,我们在户外食品店购买了零食补充能量。然后,我们在游客中心周围的不同花园里散步。这需要穿舒适的鞋子,而且可以喝水。您可以一直走,直到您到达植物园的西侧。
我们决定开车游览西侧。这样要快得多。
如果您喜欢徒步旅行和探索大自然,我建议您在植物园至少待 3-4 个小时!
