HISTORYJuly 19, 2010
The Holden Arboretum was started in 1931 with a request from Albert Fairchild Holden. It is one of the largest arboretums and botanical gardens in the US with over 3,500 acres of land.

Take the woodland trail to see some beautiful old growth forest. Make sure to check out the Offut Memorial Boardwalk along the way; the fern area is beautiful!

A fantastic place for a walk with a lot of stroller and wheelchair accessible hikes! The new canopy walk and tower offer fantastic views, including a view of Lake Erie

A living museum of forests & woodlands, meadows & display gardens, Holden is the largest of its kind in the U.S. It's a place of year round beauty with tremendous scientific and ecological importance.

Beautiful grounds, come walk your babies on the canopy walk to get them out of the house. Don't fall off the emergent tower. Come in autumn, stay until spring.

Something to do all year round - Hiking, kid's activities, classes involving everything from horticulture to snowshoeing to yoga in the garden and more!

The staff will try to scare you away from doing the Molly Orffutt Memorial Boardwalk by telling you that there are 96 stairs to climb. It's no big deal, really, and the creek is fun for little kids.

Beautiful scenery and nice walking trails, fun for the whole family

Consider avoiding Old Valley and Pierson Creek Loop trails during the spring thaw as the water in the creek might make it too high to pass at the low points in the trails.

Wear really good walking shoes and perhaps even pack a lunch. So much to see.

I love fall! This place was so beautiful I can't wait to go back!

Made for sunny autumn walks in Cleveland. Not free, however.
