The Best Children's Garden In Texas Is At The Dallas Arboretum

Even if you’ve been to the Dallas Arboretum before, there’s one section you may not have explored: the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden. This whimsical garden isn’t just for kids – sure, it features interactive exhibits that help young minds grow, but there’s also plenty for adults to do, including a 240-foot-long elevated canopy walk! Here’s what you need to know about this children’s garden in Texas.

Although the Rory Meyers Children's Adventure Garden in the Dallas Arboretum is designed specifically for kids, it's an absolute blast for the entire family.

This whimsical, interactive garden features over a dozen attractions, each one geared towards a particular age group (but everyone is encouraged to check them all out!).

An enchanting topiary maze leads to a secret garden, with trivia questions along the way that - when answered correctly - help guide the way to the finish line. The maze can be made more or less challenging to suit each child's unique needs.

Learn about native plants and animals on a discovery trail, and explore cycles of the earth via a series of interactive stations.

Delve into the incredible world of natural energy and discover how wind, water, and solar power can be transformed into electricity. The water cannons here are a big hit.

...and step inside massive tree trunks to learn all about how plants live and grow.

The "First Adventure" area of the garden allows the very youngest visitors to engage in imaginative play in a safe environment. It has giant insects, a treehouse, a sandbox...

...gigantic speckled eggs, mushroom seats and tables, and even a plant "petting zoo!"

Other attractions include a 9,000-square-foot exploration center, a 240-foot-long elevated canopy walk, a nutrition exhibit, and so much more.
