Boyce Thompson Arboretum

Arizona's oldest and largest arboretum is also a good value at around $15 per adult. Easy trails are great for kids and dogs. Included in the cost of your visit are helpful maps and guided tours. An amazing array of desert plants are accompanied by interpretive signs so you're not left to guess what they are! Being in the Arizona climate means the gardens are open throughout the year but check the website for updates. (Submitted by Valerie Baum)
