Interesting, exciting place to learn about wildlife - including saving the Whooping Crane. Take a walk on their trail system or take a ride on the tram.
The national arboretum of the United States, is a major element of the city's park system. It is the noted work of landscape Federick Law Olmstead, Jr.
The garden is a living plant museum & was established by Congress in 1820. The Conservatory reopened in Dec 2001 after a four-year renovation,with approx 4,000 seasonal, tropical & subtropical plants.
