I have always gone to Frelinghuysen Arboretum to admire their beautiful gardens but because today was a warm but late fall day, I spent a bit of time on the trail (one mile), great for families. All the flora is always immaculately maintained. All staff I have come in contact with, extremely friendly.

A really beautiful place to spend a few hours relaxing and viewing the gardens. The gardens are beautiful with wonderful brick paths to walk and benches to sit on. There are a large variety of well maintained flowers and bushes. Simply a beautiful spot.There are a few Gazebos for shade and also sunny areas for warmth on a chilly day. Outside the arboretum area there are nice walking trails and a couple of large grassy areas. Theres also plenty of parking making this an easy to access location to spend time walking or viewing the flowers with family or friends.

Well kept. Nice variety of flowers. Walking trails. Decks with tables.

We love this place! Beautiful spot for engagement photos & wedding photos! Seasonal flowers, trees & greenery galore! Dream backdrop for your outdoor photos

We visited the other day all outside areas were open but no access to their building. Late season blossoms were very nice.

It was right under our nose and we did not get a hint of it. we visited one fine afternoon with parents. parking is easy to find. Stop at the visitor center and the roam this beautiful garden.Enjoy a picnic on the Great Lawn, take memorable family photographs under the Rose Garden Arbor, celebrate a wedding under a reservable tent, read a book next to a water feature, tour the Carriage House, and be amazed at the historic horse-drawn carriages. it was straight from 70s Cowboy movies.Frelinghuysen Mansion situated in the park looks great, but it was closed. the rose garden just beside it, was beautiful. This breathtaking site also offers a wedding. The first Sunday of every month, a free tour of the grounds is offered at 2 p.m., leaving from the Education Center. Monthly art exhibits provide interest when you need a respite from spring rains. The first weekend in May, The Friends of the Frelinghuysen Arboretum’s Annual Plant Sale fills the big tent with carefully selected, well-bred plants.

The one of the nicest Arboretums I have been to. Such a beautiful place and so well taken care of. The layout of the property is great with long and short walks showing off all kinds of different plants, bushes, flowers and trees. I loved how everything was labeled so you can learn what the flowers and trees are. It was also free which was awesome.

Really lovely place to walk around! Buildings are currently closed and I dont think theres a bathroom available.

We had a lovely day here with my grandparents. The gardens are well kept they are so shady and tranquil. A plus for us was that all the gardens are wheelchair accessible so my grandparents didnt miss out on anything.

Was very nice, enjoyed the scenery and had plenty of space for social distancing

The program we attended was very nice. The grounds are beautiful! Will return again real soon. My granddaughter has not stopped talking about it.

Good place to have a small walk and look around.

Went a couple years ago, was nice to walk around and had plenty of shade and nice photo sceneries. There was a cozy homemade lemonade place run by a mom and daughter duo that was just right for the hot day.

Love coming here year round. Nice trails throughout the grounds and unique fauna

Amazingly naturally beautiful place heartily related image of a present time thank.

Love this place so much. This is our fav place for a stroll on the weekends.

The flowers are gorgeous. Lovely shady woodland walk. Even a cute toad. U must experience the gardens for the first time or renew your experience again.

This is one of the most beautiful places in Morris county in every season. Amazing plantings with a backdrop of the lovely Freelinghuysen home.

Beautiful gardens. Bring lunch and have a picnic, or just take time to walk around all the trails and see all the plants. The rose gardens were especially beautiful.

Another beautiful free place to visit in New Jersey.Went for a walk through the gardens and enjoyed the plant varieties. Most plants were labeled which was nice. The blooming flowers change as the seasons change so visiting throughout the year would make for a different experience.A wedding was taking place during the visit. So, some areas were off limits for a short time.They have special events throughout the year.

Lovely place with easy trails. However some areas were blocked for to covid-19.

Easy parking, no crowds and a great walking trail!

Truly excellent garden space with wooded hiking trails. Frelinghuysen Arboretum has wonderful formal gardens, many benched areas to sit and relax, and is on the Patriots Trail. Google Maps conveniently shows the trails in the arboretum, and the picturesque Whippany River that goes through the property.Frelinghuysen Arboretum is one of New Jerseys gifts to the world. The photos I have posted show just some of the gardens, flowers and quiet places to sit here.Logistical information: there appears to be quite a bit of parking, although all venues might attract a swell of people at times. Ive never had a problem parking in the several times I have visited there. The entry is on E. Hanover Rd. I mention this, because, once, my car GPS took me to the Whippany Rd. gate which is an exit from the Park. Heh, my car GPS is not Google Maps. Youll have no problem if you use Google Maps on your phone. If you are visiting from out of the NYC area, its an easy drive from NYC along I-80, or I-78, to I-287 to get there. And while youre at it, scan around the area on Google Maps to see more treasures to visit in the area.You will deeply enjoy your time spent at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum.

Such a peaceful beautiful place we just got married there.

Great place to go for an easy and tranquil walk to see some amazing flowers.

Gingerbread Wonderland is an annual, local competition of gingerbread creations, on display, open to the public for a small fee. A wildly popular event, not to be missed. Make it a tradition for your family for the holiday season. No munching on the displays!

The place is well taken care of. A beautiful garden and variety of plants. Everything is labeled so if you wish to know what it is you will. A nice place to visit and do some exploring. Or just a place to meet a friend and talk.

Gorgeous Arboretum. Best kept secret in Morris County

Beautiful Wedding catered by Culinary Creations

Beautiful landscape great for walking, strolling or running!!

Seems nice but they need to spend some dollars on maps, trail blazes, and portojohns.

Would have been nice to have your website list you as CLOSED. We brought our lunch, expecting to have a lovely picnic after looking at the roses ... only to come upon closed gates and a sign saying the Arboretum was CLOSED. Bummer.

This is a fabulous location for racking up your requisite steps (my husband) or admiring the pretty flowers (me). And its FREE. There are restrooms in the visitors center, and a cafe that serves drinks and snacks. Trails are clearly marked and easy, but some may be a bit too hilly for the casual or somewhat challenged walker.

Loved it! Honestly such a beautiful place!! So much potential for the community, and just a gorgeous place to relax and wander. So many treasures to uncover here.

We had my daughters 4th birthday party here. It was amazing! We did a fairy hunt in the gardens. The kids had a blast looking for fairy doors and their fairies. Afterwards they learn how to properly plant a flower and get to keep it as well. (It attracts fairies-how cute is that)And another amazing fact - the price! nowhere else are you going to find a place that gives you so much time, for so many kids, for such a low price.And everyone that I worked with there was absolutely amazing. We truly had a great time.

Nice walk but buildings were closed

Gorgeous grounds, great variety of lovely flora.

Peaceful and beautiful in the Fall

It was beautiful i loved it i definetly recomend anyone who hasnt so go

Amazing place for walk and knowledge about trees, flowers

Beautiful Serene! a lovely place to visit with picnic tables and benches.

We went for the gingerbread house display which was amazing as always. Plan on a long line and patience on the weekend.

Love it - beautiful place

Lovely trails and gardens

We go to the gingerbread competition every year and each time Im amazed at the creativity. Its a wonderful family tradition for us.

A nice way to spend an hour or 2.

Very beautiful experience! Highly recommended wont disappoint.

Best place in NJ to see fall colors. This season the colors were so vibrant that we would be lost in the nature.

Has beautiful nature and its quiet not rowdy we were one of the only people there

My first time here. What a beautiful place! We came with a group of special needs students to see the Gingerbread Houses displayed. I want to come back in the spring.

Beautiful grounds and well kept. We were here for a childs birthday and it was fun and the staff was super friendly. Loved the gardens and going to find fairies with the kids

Very nice park to walk in with your honey.

Its always good to take walk through the arboretum in the early spring. I think we went about a week or two too early though. There were a couple of things in bloom, but its going to get way better as we get closer to May.The Morris County African Violet Club was doing a little show in the main building that was free to the public, They had quite a few interesting specimens on display that I had never seen before. Not that Ive seen that many to begin with. It might be a good idea to look into other events that coincide with your visit.A great little place to take a walk, have a picnic, and just get outdoors on a nice day.

A very peaceful retreat for any day in the week

Gingerbread wonderland was great. Slow-moving line which was not great for a toddler. Otherwise a fun experience.

Great oasis for a stroll among plants, trees and flowers. Nice quiet spot to decompress and enjoy nature in the area.

Very pretty and the events are always a great family outing. Definitely check out the gingerbread house event in December!

4/7/20 Applying Trumpian reasoning the perfect minds at M.C.P.C. closed this resource, thereby doubling the amount of visits to Loanataka, etc. Euge, beautiful, logic, guys.

Hey is it OPEN or CLOSED? And if Closed, WHY? Parks have been open for many weeks now - whats the story?

Great place for the family!!

This is a very interesting place. Went for gingerbread house show and will definitely go back to check it out more.

This place is full of greenery and various kinds of plants and flowers were there.good place to take pictures and for some relaxation.the best part which I liked was this place has all different kinds of chairs at most of the areas so you can relax quietly.The day I went it was not crowded ..very few people and mostly senior citizens..they have canteen too for some small snacks.if somebody is near to this place its gem but for us it was nearly 1.5 hr drive that too along with toddler so I didnt find it much worth but yes for one time visit its beautiful small place.

Excellent park! Really beautiful place to visit. The tulips were stunning. Planning to be there at least twice per month during the summer. Its a 40 minute drive from my house. Very excited to have found this place.

It is a lovely place for a nice walk. The main building here for weddings and such. This place can boast wonderful wedding pictures.

Very pretty, complimentary, nice walking trails. Nice way to see so many plants. Be sure to look up the hours before you go.

Lovely spot in the heart of Morris county. Beautiful gardens, and connects to a number of walking trails as well as the Patriots Path. Gorgeous spot for photography, and plenty of benches and water fountains. Great date spot with plenty of cute photo ops

Went to walk the trails on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The red trail from the parking lot is a disaster. Deep ruts, large unstable rocks, and steep downhill slope. Once it levels off into a meadow, the walk is peaceful, quiet, and bug-free. Junctions of trails are not well marked, but having a printout of the trail map from the website is a big help. Not sure if I would return.

Really neat place with lots to do. We enjoyed looking at all of the different plants and trees (during winter). Looking forward to seeing this place during spring and summer. They do have plants and trees for all seasons. Theres lots of space in front of the mansion for the kids to run around without worrying about them getting hit by a car!! We love it and hope to visit often!

Beautifully taken care of. Great place to take a walk or photograph.

All the time favorite. We did our wedding shooting here. Need to get a permit from the town but it wasnt expensive. Brought baby here when he was one month old. Recently we went back and he is two already. Cherry blossoms, daffodils are in season, and tulips are coming out. There are nice gardens, plantation area and hiking trails among the woods. Def a wonderful place in a pretty busy area.

As Ministers/ wedding Officiants, we have married people at this lovely place. We have successfully married Hundreds of Couples. We have found the grounds to be beautiful, and any employees we encountered to be helpful and courteous. Highly recommended.Let us know if you have any questions about your wedding and this Memorable setting, or if we can be of further assistance.

Top notch arboretum with a lot of history! They have one of the original Hazel Smith Giant Sequoias. It is a very kid friendly place.

A beautiful place to spend some time with a loved one take a walk enjoy outdoors live a little

We had an orchid auction there and the facilities were perfect.In the warmer months the grounds are spectacular.

Love going to this place early in the spring before it gets crowded. Its nice to walk around and see the grounds. Kept up very nicely. Ample parking.

Beautiful place to visit and the Gingerbread House contest was awesome!! Lots of talented people!!

The Frelinghuysen Arboretum is a great place to go to relax with your close friends and/or family. Its the one peaceful, outdoor, space in the busy, Morristown, area. Its nicely taken care of all year round. The peak time to come, of course, when the flowers are in bloom. My favorite time was having a lunch picnic, with friends, sitting on the front patio of the historic white building.

Maybe I came here a little early to see different flowers. Not many things to see but its clean and good for a short walk.

Beautiful place. Great job on the landscaping. Its free and even though its smaller than most of these, its worth it

Great place to spend a few hours. Beautiful grounds

I HAVE BEEN GOING HERE FOR YEARS. I KNOWN ITS WINTER BUT GROUNDS WHERE NOT TO MY LIKING.

Lovely garden. Trees and flowers blooming. Chipmunks saying hello. Other walkers very friendly. I would go again

Beautiful place to visit no matter what season. I enjoy the ginger bread competition around the Christmas holiday. The hot apple cider is very yummy. In the spring the flowers are beautiful. I find its an interesting place to get ideas as to what to plant in your garden especially for the locals.

Good place to take a walk, watch some beautiful butterflies and different kinds of flowers, trees and plants.

Beautiful tree, flowers, plants, so serene and educational and so close to downtown morristown, worth the visit if you are in or visit morristown

Must visit in Morristown. Neatly maintained. Peaceful. Catch a break in nature.

A beautiful place for Morris county peaple and children to learn about gardening and agriculture. Perfect place for relaxation

Its beautiful and peaceful and you can bring your own lunch and sit at picnic tables.

Small but cozy and beautiful.

I absolutely love this place! Beautiful in warmer weather. Lots of flowers, a great place to visit.

Beautiful grounds. Can’t wait to return.

Great place to experience the seasons

I am hoping they will have the funding for more events this year!

Nice and clean parc. Friendly staff.

Such a beautiful place even in the dark days of winter.

Not too pricey and very nice. Went in the winter for gingerbread house display. It was fantastic. They do offer a great deal of programs for kids and adults. Check their website for events. We also had pastries and got chocolate at the cafe. As expected it was a bit pricey, however it was delicious.

Great place to hop for an afternoon park. A breath of fresh air in a busy, fast paced town

One of the most peaceful spots in the area. Filled with beautiful trees and flowers, this 137 acre park is perfect for those interested in learning about plant life and trees and also for those who want to relax in the surrounding beauty. Perfect for a picnic.

Plentiful free trails. Free parking & easily accessible. Ring a lunch & picinic there or head 2 Main St Mortitown, only minutes away, after 4 some great food. Will keep going!

What a magnificent location. This garden can inspire many artists. Beautiful, well kept gardens. Gazebos a plenty. Benches to rest and enjoy the scenery. I cant say enough about this beautiful piece of heaven.
