ダラス樹木園ガイド：写真、ダラスの花、パンプキンパッチ、クリスマスイベント＆キッズアクティビティ

癒しのダラス樹木園への訪問は、"ビッグD "旅行の一部であるべきだ

ダラス樹木園・植物園の壮大な敷地を散策するのに最適な時があるとしたら、それはまさに今かもしれない。世界がおかしくなり、日常生活のストレスから逃れることがほとんど不可能になったように感じる今日、この美しい66エーカーの公園は、あなたを色とりどりの抱擁の中に迎え入れ、内省し、リラックスし、充電するために必要な時間を与えてくれるだろう。

ホワイトロック湖の南東岸にあるイースト・ダラス地区に位置するアーボリータムは、メトロプレックスの中央部や東部から車で簡単に行くことができます（ラッシュアワーを除く）。主に住宅地であるこの地域は、歴史的な大邸宅、成熟した樹木が並ぶ通り、地元のコーヒーショップやビストロの印象的なコレクション、屋外レクリエーションのオプションが豊富で、静かな傾向があります。のんびりとした散歩道や風光明媚な湖の景色を眺めるだけでも、賑やかな街からの素晴らしい気分転換になる。

テキサス北部で最もインスタ映えする観光スポット

正直なところ、テキサス北部でこれほどフォトジェニックな場所はない。最近では誰もがスマートフォンを持っているので、訪れる際にカメラを持参することを勧める必要はない。特別な写真を撮りたいナチュラリストも、どこに行くにも同行する「本物の」カメラを持つベテランのプロも、カップルで訪れても、家族で充実した時間を過ごしても、ここには写真撮影のチャンスがあふれています。

どの季節に訪れても、息を呑むような花々に出会えるはずだ。

Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden Highlights

Special Seasonal Events at the Dallas Arboretum

Spring: Dallas Blooms

The most expansive spring floral show in Texas, this annual event draws large crowds longing to view the more than 500,000 bulbs that bloom here each spring. The sight of so many tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and many other varietals will surely take your breath away. The show runs from mid-February to mid-April.

Spring: Food & Wine Festival

The Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden is the perfect venue for this annual evening culinary experience that takes place during the last week of March. Leading local chefs provide outstanding small bites that pair perfectly with premium wines and beers. VIP (valet parking and early entry) and General Admission pricing, which is separate from park admission, is offered.

Spring to Fall: Cool Thursdays Concerts Series

We can’t imagine a more beautiful setting for outdoor concerts in the DFW area. From late April to early November weekly Thursday evening concerts feature live music performed by local artists, with dazzling sunsets and beautiful gardens enhancing your experience at no extra charge. Relax on the lush concert lawn with sparkling White Rock Lake nearby. Each week features tunes associated with famous performers including the Beatles, Coldplay, Adele, Billy Joel, Journey, and yes, even the Bee Gees!

Fall: Autumn at the Arboretum

With a different theme each year, in 2026 the Dallas Arboretum will be transformed into Mundo Mexico!, celebrating the fall harvest season along with Mexican food, culture, and modern art. Visitors love the Pumpkin Village, making this annual fall extravaganza known as one of the best pumpkin festivals in the U.S. You won’t believe your eyes as more than 100,000 pumpkins, gourds, and squash are on display from late September until early November. Enhancing the decorations are more than 150,000 plants that bloom in autumn.

Winter: Holiday at the Arboretum

The Arboretum becomes a holiday wonderland in the days leading up to Christmas and the New Year. A myriad of gazebos will delight shoppers, as will the European-style Christmas Village. Open day and evening, admission prices vary depending on the time of your visit. Of course, visitors after dark also get to enjoy the spectacular garden illuminations which are alone worth the price of admission.

Don’t forget to visit the 21,000-square-foot DeGolyer House, the centerpiece of the Arboretum, which is spectacularly decorated for the holidays. The house is open to the public year-round to tour but is especially magnificent at holiday time.

Late Winter to Early Spring: Orchid Enchantment

This seasonal orchid exhibition runs from mid-February to early March each year featuring hundreds of blooms, including many rare varieties that you likely won’t see anywhere else. The display is perfectly set in the historic DeGolyer House making for an intimate and astonishing experience.

When is the Best Time of Year to Visit the Dallas Arboretum?

Well, it depends, is probably the best answer. If you’re in the Dallas area at a specific time without the option of adjusting your dates, then whenever you are in town is the best time to visit. And be sure that you do as the Arboretum is beautiful all year round.

Should you have flexibility with your travel dates or want to see something in particular at the Arboretum, say Dallas Blooms (detailed above), then March to May is when you will want to be here. For comfortable weather and robust fall colors, September and October are the ideal months for a visit.

Summer is frequently the time that families can get away for some quality time together, and, while North Texas is known for exceedingly hot and humid weather particularly in July and August, a visit to the Arboretum early in the morning is the best way to avoid the heat and crowds. If possible, we also recommend visiting on a weekday rather than weekend for a more relaxing stroll through the grounds.

The Best Places to Stay When Visiting Dallas

If you’ve been to Dallas and the D/FW Metroplex area before, you already know that this area is geographically widespread, and that is an understatement. Downtown to downtown, Dallas to Ft. Worth, is 32 miles, and can take half an hour or three times that during rush hour or inclement weather. Dallas to Arlington where the NFL Cowboys and baseball’s Texas Rangers play their home games is 20 miles, so still has the potential for a lengthy drive time. DFW International Airport and North Dallas beyond the Johnson Freeway (635) aren’t much better, so where you choose to stay may just be crucial to maintaining your sanity while driving around town.

The primary purpose of your visit should be how you decide what area suits your plan the best. But wherever you decide to spend the night will still give you at least a couple hundred hotel properties to consider. This difficult process will be much easier if you make use of the Travelated.com hotel booking site, which we heartily recommend. With scores of hotels in all price categories, Travelated will surely offer the property that you desire at an extremely attractive price.

If you expect to spend a majority of your time in Dallas, we suggest looking at hotels downtown, or along the North Dallas Tollway (DNT). If you prefer a more suburban setting, you can expand the search to the area close to the Galleria which is just 11 miles north of downtown. There are also plenty of hotel options along the Johnson Freeway (635) in both directions from the DNT.

If you are planning to attend a football or baseball game or perhaps spend time at Six Flags Amusement/Theme Park, all of which are in Arlington, search the multitude of Arlington, Texas properties on Travelated.

The “Big D” Offers Texas-Sized Getaways

Spending a few days in Dallas offers a plethora of fun activities for everyone. From sporting events to theater, museums to incredible restaurants, historical sites and yes, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, it’s easy to fill as many days with excitement as you have available. And don’t forget, Fort Worth and its more down-to-earth Western feel isn’t far away. Make your plans to visit here soon and let Travelated help you find that perfect home away from home for a few days.
