New Admissions Fees, As of January 1st, 2009:
The Morris Arboretum has restructured its admissions fees beginning January 1, 2009. The Arboretum last increased prices in 2005. The current increase will help us keep pace with rising garden operation costs, and will allow us to remain competitive with other area cultural institutions. The fees listed above reflect the change in the rate of admission.


Become a Member and Save:
2 Adults and 1 child only have to visit 3 times a year to start saving using the Family Membership. Morris Arboretum membership cardholders must present a valid membership card and a photo ID (driver's license, student ID, etc.) for each member to the gate attendant in order to gain free admission and to enjoy all of your membership privileges. You will be asked to pay admission if you cannot present your current membership card(s) and photo ID(s) to the gate attendant.


The Arboretum is handicapped accessible.
