Children's Program

Through the Children’s Program, the JC Raulston Arboretum welcomes children, youth, and families to explore and learn together. A variety of creative, fun, science-based programs are available to experience the gardens and explore the interaction between people and plants.

I Spy! Tours

Explore the Arboretum gardens with a guided tour for children and families. I Spy! Tours are a great way to dive deeper into a topic while enjoying our beautiful gardens together. Pick a tour from our current topics, gather a group to take the tour with, and come enjoy being outside.

Tours are offered Thursdays and Fridays. Learn how to book your tour today.
