Explore and Discover: Arboretum Tour

Your family can explore one of Kansas City's hidden gems on this guided tour of The Linda Hall Arboretum. A knowledgeable docent will lead you through the beautifully landscaped grounds, where you'll encounter over 300 trees representing more than 130 different species. Along the way, your group will discover vibrant gardens, unique plant collections, and several Kansas City Champion Trees—the largest or oldest specimens of their kind in the area. This free outing works wonderfully for families who enjoy nature and want to learn something new. The tour covers the arboretum's history and its connection to The Linda Hall's broader mission, making it educational without feeling like a classroom. Plan to meet at the front steps of The Linda Hall, and bring comfortable walking shoes since you'll be spending time outdoors on the grounds. It's a great way to spend a morning connecting with nature in an urban setting.
