Klehm Arboretum and Botanic Garden

The 155-acre grounds contain seven specialty gardens featuring ornamental shrubs, trees, annuals, perennials, and a network of walking paths throughout the property.

The land transformation from agricultural fields into a collection of diverse gardens and rare trees established a natural sanctuary in northern Illinois.

The garden hosts educational programs and community events throughout the year, connecting residents with nature through guided walks and seasonal celebrations.

Visitors can access 1.8 miles of paved paths and multiple wood-chipped trails, with entry fees of $6 for adults and $3 for seniors and students.

The Children's Garden includes a navigable maze, observation towers, and Kid's Creek, where young visitors can engage in water play activities.
