Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest

Beautiful!!!

The lady (I think Linda was her name) at the entrance was so welcoming and friendly and gave great directions.
My mom and I enjoyed it so much we went back 4 days later with my daughter and grandson.
Follow the the big yellow footprint 👣 and you will find the Giants, but there is so much more to see.
Mr. Richard one of the park ranger was super helpful.
Encourage the children to observe with their ears, not just with their eyes.
Nature is beautiful
Parking is good, bathrooms are clean.

Beautiful place to visit and walk around all the different trails and see the many different types of plants and trees. We were able to see the Giants and we’re amazed at how big they were and the time it must have taken to put them together .We got a chuckle out of all the people fishing where it was posted not to fish . They have a small little cafe along with a wonderful gift shop. Great place to take the family and your fur kids .

This park is great. Unfortunately, it's so hot and my girls are so tired from the last 2 days of vacation that... I'm so glad that I brought their stroller. We only walked 1.5 miles mostly around the pond. Didn't make it to the giant trail because we missed a turn. I expected the trail to be marked at every turn to each of the giant. Maybe I missed it. Didn't want to back track, and decided seeing 1 of the 3 is good enough. When the weather is nicer or if I live in the area, I could see myself coming back to explore different trails. The main road is one way, with half the lane foe walkers. The layout of this park is very safe for pedestrians.

Visited this beautiful wonderland during winter so there were not many people or plants blossoming but it was still stunning! Some of the main buildings were closed because of off-season and renovations but it still have tons to see. There are multiple pull offs and parking areas and plenty of places to stretch your legs or walk your animals. Lots of hidden away areas to chill, tons of trails and big open green spaces. I would say that this whole place is wheelchair accessible although it might be a bit rough accessing everything since it's quite a large park and of course not all of it is paved. This place has something for all ages and health levels. Gorgeous wildlife here too! For a donation of $10, your vehicle full of people can stay all day and finally get that well deserved peace of mind and fresh air. It is very worth it!

What a neat place. FYI: the 'admission' fee is a suggestion of $10. They ask for a donation and would likely accept any amount you give them.

Guy at the gate was quite friendly and helpful for us first-time visitors. Gave us a map and told us the visitor center was closing at 4pm. According to the information provided to us, this place has 40 miles of trails. There are large stretches in the center area that are unshaded, so please bring plenty of water. Quite a bit of one-way roads and so forth, so watch the signs and pay attention.

Restrooms were very nice. The visitor center and gift shop appeared to have nice things inside, we just didn't go in. Parking lots and spaces all over the place. Kids area looked cool. We did see several charging stations in the main parking lot by the visitor center.

Go do the forest canopy overlook thing. Very deceiving from the map, but it's a pretty good drive up there (couple miles maybe?). Many of the trees and stuff have markers on them so you can learn about what you're seeing. Quite a few quotes from folks and informational signs, too.

The 'giants' are quite adorable and very cool. Make sure you see them all. Just because. They're just really neat for sure! I'd like to go back again and do some more hiking/walking around. Take it in better. Give yourself a few hours and don't rush. :)
