Gabis Arboretum at Purdue Northwest
About this place
Gabis Arboretum is a 300-acre nature preserve in Valparaiso with restored prairie, display gardens, wetlands and woodland trails. Families can hike the paths, attend a series of five outdoor concerts in summer, watch a miniature train run on weekends and Fridays from May through October, and join nature programs. The arboretum offers free entry and hosts special events including stargazing nights and guided drives to learn about local plants and wildlife.
If you are a member here
A membership to Gabis Arboretum at Purdue Northwest carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
