Nature's Castles

The sky’s the limit for this spectacular display of treehouses. Three large-scale treehouses created by the country’s best designers take center stage in picturesque settings around the Gardens.

Let Your Inner Child Come Out To Play In
Three Fantastic Creations:

  • The Lookout Loft, a rustic Adirondack-style treehouse in the shady Forest Walk
  • The Canopy Cathedral, an ornate two-story house inspired by a Norwegian church overlooking the Italian Water Garden
  • The Birdhouse, located in the Terrace Woodland, offers bird’s-eye views of the surrounding natural landscape

Don't Miss Opening Weekend, April 26 & 27!

Kids are invited to “Gear Up” and discover what it is like to be an Arborist. Families can enjoy tours, craft activities, arborist demonstrations, information sessions and more! Our lemonade stand and children’s fare in the Terrace Restaurant will bring out the kid in everyone. The first 500 guests each day will receive a tree seedling to take home. See the complete schedule of events.
