About this place

A 2,000-acre arboretum near Newark featuring thousands of trees from around the world, established in 1929. Families can explore the grounds on foot, walking among diverse plantings that include native Ohio species and hardy specimens from further afield. The site offers learning programs led by educators that focus on trees, nature and conservation history.

If you are a member here

A membership to The Dawes Arboretum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

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
