Dollar Days 2010 at The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Society
Celebrate the final days of summer at the Dallas Arboretum, where everyone pays $1 admission everyday through the month of August. The 66 acres of gardens are filled with winding stone paths, quiet koi filled ponds, and even the occasional rabbit.
Among the many interesting items at the Dallas Arboretum are walls of water, views of White Rock Lake, two 19th century cabin replicas, a thatched roof cottage, two stately mansions, outdoor sculptures, misty bridge views, mature trees including oaks, pines, and pecans, many varieties of flowers, and lovely scenes.
The Dallas Botanical Gardens are in Texas and it does get hot, so wear a hat and use plenty of suntan lotion. There are a lot of benches and water fountains located around the park, as well as tram rides.
One of my favorite part of the Dallas Arboretum is the Trial Gardens, where all kinds of odd and unusual plants are laid out in neat beds. The Trail beds are right next to the giant frogs water feature - a fun place to get wet, or watch kids get wet.
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is a popular place with photographers; it's pretty common to see professional photographers with families or bridal groups in tow around the park. In a park this size, there is plenty of room for everyone to take all the photos they want.
