Nationwide Press Cites Dallas Arboretum as the Great Fall Experience with National and Local Accolades Pouring In

“The incredible fall beauty and phenomenal pumpkin displays at the Dallas Arboretum have just been recognized in national media as the experiences not to miss this fall in America,” stated Mary Brinegar the botanical garden’s president.

MSN Travel named the garden’s festival, Autumn at the Arboretum, as one of the “Best Fall Festivals to Celebrate the Season,” and Fodor’s Travel named it one of “America’s Best Pumpkin Festivals.” Locally, The Dallas Observer named the festival the “Best Fall Outing,” and DFW Child recognized the garden as the “Best Place to Get Outdoors.”

Along with the stunning vistas, there are activities galore for children. The eight-acre internationally acclaimed Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden has activities every day when youngsters walk along the treetop walks, transform the power of the sun, water and wind into energy, and have more than 100 opportunities for interactive fun.

“There is seated and outdoor dining, music on the weekends, special discounts nearly every day, but the showstopper is that there are few other fall experiences in America like this, and we are grateful for the national publicity that we’ve received,” stated Terry Lendecker, Dallas Arboretum’s vice president of advertising and promotions.
