Bartlett Arboretum

Fodor's Review:

This 91-acre arboretum is home to more than 2,000 varieties of annuals, perennials, wildflowers, and woody plants; an art gallery, research library; greenhouse; marked ecology trails; 2-acre pond; and boardwalk through a red maple swamp. Brilliant purples, sunny yellows, and bold oranges make the wildflower garden stunning in spring. Sunday afternoons are the time to visit for guided walks.
