About this place

A 224-acre botanical garden in downtown Augusta with miles of walking and hiking trails winding through gardens, forests, wetlands, and meadows. Visits are free. Families can explore cultivated areas and natural landscapes, watch for birds and wildlife throughout the seasons, picnic at designated spots, and try geocaching. In winter, the trails are open for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, with equipment available to rent at the visitor center. Dogs on leads are welcome.

If you are a member here

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