Tours
Self-Guided Tours
Many visitors love to come and tour on their own. We ask that if you are bringing a group of 10 or more on a self-guided tour you call ahead to ensure that we do not have a large group already scheduled. This will ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experience. Brochures containing a map are available inside the Visitor Center. P
Check out Arboretum Explorer for each of the following self-guided tours:
- Walking Tour of Native Trees
- Native Oaks of Kentucky
- Native Shrubs of Kentucky
