Very pretty to go in early springtime. The trails are always nice but there isn't as much to see in winter so we went in spring. Lots of flowers were blooming and it was very beautiful.Full review by Claire A

What a beautiful forest, with lots of miles of trails and a number of (well-marked) trails from which to choose. We all (two adults, one toddler) loved our morning in the woods and would be happy to …Full review by Brittany_11_10

You can take a bus from the Zoo station up to the visitors center "Tree House". Service is infrequent in the winter for the number 63 so be sure to check a schedule or the wair can be nasty! I like the Conifer side of the arboretum in the winter because most of the Conifers are evergreen. This part of the arboretum is East of the Visitors Center. They have samples of conifers from China, India, Africa, S.America, Europe and the Pacific N. W. There are a good number of large native conifers on the flowering tree side, too (the side closer to the zoo). You'll see Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Hemlock. Both sides are pretty and the trails nice. We've had record rainfall in Dec., so expect some mud. No tickets are needed. If you drive you pay for parking.
