Get in on the Secrets and the Surprises of the Forest

Climb Aboard the Discovery Ride

Discover nature’s wonders as you embark on a one-hour journey through woodland trails across the historic 260-acre Arbor Day Farm. Riders get a front row seat as the hidden treasures of nature are revealed.

Relax on a cedar log-hewn bench under a giant red oak leaf canopy as expert guides share stories of Morton’s family and tree planting on the prairie.

Journey through the rare Preservation Orchard as well as a commercial orchard and vineyards, and see an array of blooms in the spring and a bounty of apples and grapes in the fall. Find wildlife in its natural habitat. Explore conservation and forestry demonstrations.

See nature through a new lens. Climb aboard today.
