Widely lauded for its beauty and ornamental significance, The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden charms visitors with 66 acres of lush plant life, majestic vistas, and dramatic scenery surrounding serene White Rock Lake. Admission to the arboretum grants flower gawkers permission to gaze upon the splendor of thriving flora interwoven with stately pecan trees, majestic magnolias, and weeping willows easily consoled by flowers and serenades. Fifteen gardens comprise the expansive property, enchanting the masses with prominent displays such as late-blooming tulips, praised by Southern Living as the best place to view tulips outside of the Netherlands and the tulip zoo.

Although the gardens lure visitors as the main attraction, the plant palace also entertains green-thumbed guests with fun seasonal activities, open to the public from September 17 to November 23. Every fall the outdoor greenhouse transforms into an autumn wonderland, saluting the skies with 150,000 blooming fall flowers, foliage plantings, and more than 50,000 pumpkins, squash, and gourds. Guests can peruse a selection of potential jack-o’-lanterns or substitute football helmets at the Tom Thumb Pumpkin Patch and navigate the children's hay-bale maze in the Pecan Grove, providing interactive fun for the whole family.

Although The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden sometimes features discounted prices on Wednesdays, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
