Exploring Hoyt Arboretum’s 189 acres on our 12 miles of trail isn’t just a hike – it’s a worldwide tour of trees.
Public Tours
Free public tours about Hoyt Arboretum’s global collection of trees, hiking trail system, and history are held Sundays at 11am through October. Sign up in person, day-of at the Visitor Center.
Trees For All Public Tours
The first Sundays of the month, through October, Public Tours will stay on paved trail systems focusing on angiosperms, gymnosperms, and native plants around the Visitor Center and up the Overlook Trail. Click here to view pictures of the full tour route and trail description.
Hike with Hoyt
Free volunteer-led hikes at Hoyt Arboretum will be held on Wednesday and Saturdays from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM from June 19 – October 30, 2024. These hikes are geared toward being active in community and are less information-based than Public Tours. Participants should expect to go up to 4 miles and walking routes include a mix of paved, packed-dirt, and gravel trails with ups and downs and occasional stairs. Sign up day-of at the Visitor Center.
Schedule a Group Tour
Bring your business, education, religious, or community group for an educational tour of our award-winning collections. Minimum size is 20 participants and the cost is $7 per attendee. Schedule a group tour.
