Summer at the Arboretum
Keep the Action Going Strong This Summer
Summer at the Arboretum has something for everyone!

 

We’re keeping things cool this summer! Live musical performances every weekend add texture to your visit. You can relax with the return of Family Fun Fridays with face painting, a petting zoo and children’s music. Or have a chat with the ZimSculpt artists in residence and try your hand at carving stone.

Celebrate dad on Father’s Day, or start your weekend early with our remaining Cool Thursdays Concerts. Splash your way to the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden, where activities focus on all things water this summer! The beautiful sights and cool setting will leave you feeling inspired.

The Gardens Are Alive with ZimSculpt

Over 100, hand-carved stone sculptures from Zimbabwe await your visit. With ZimSculpt, you’ll see a new, museum-quality piece around every turn. When you’re done you can stop over at the ZimSculpt Marketplace to meet the artists and the curator, learn about the exhibit, and maybe even take a piece home.
