Arley Kids

Arley Kids like adventure, exploring, discovering and having fun. These intrepid adventurers come to Arley Arboretum and they never want to leave!

Arley Arboretum is the perfect place for a day out with the kids. Adventure is never far away, with acres of woodland to explore, wide open natural vistas to run and play in and activities all year round, there really is something for everyone.

Spark your imagination on our adventure trails, battle goblins and free the little folk in our quests. Rumour has it, if you time your visit just right, you can even ride a unicorn! It’s true what they say, Arley Arboretum really is magical.

“I asked my 9 year old son what was his favourite bit at Arley Arboretum and he replied – Everything, it’s amazing”

Trees & Gardens
