Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens
Overview
Ready for a reset? Experience the beauty of the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens—a 300-acre outdoor escape filled with 1,700 plant species, curated themed gardens, and nearly six miles of scenic trails. Just a short drive from downtown Kansas City, this must-see attraction is an easy, peaceful getaway where the outdoors, art, and family fun come together.
Stroll the Monet Garden to see the soft colors of flowers that inspired the artist, let the kids dig for fossils in the Children’s Garden, or search for sculptures among the trees in the International Sculpture Garden. Part nature retreat, part art gallery, and part outdoor classroom, no matter where your path wanders here, you’ll find something delightfully unexpected.
One of the best details? The Arboretum and Botanical Gardens are open year-round, so there’s always something new to marvel at in every season. Get more information on this must-see Overland Park attraction to start planning your visit today.
