A membership pays for itself in just a few visits. If you join on-site after paying admission to visit the Arboretum, a portion of your admission fees will be deducted from the price of your selected membership level.
In celebration of 2020, all Arboretum members will get 20% off their purchase in the Shop on the 20th day of every month through 2020. Year round, members continue to enjoy a 10% discount on all Shop inventory. On the 20th day of every month, though, members save even more while supporting the mission of the Morris Arboretum. Stop in on the 20th to find your next special something. (This promotion does not apply to membership or admission purchases.)
The American Horticultural Society (AHS) Reciprocal Admission Program (RAP) offers members of participating gardens free admission to the Morris Arboretum. A valid membership card from a participating garden must be presented. Click here for a list of participating gardens. Directories are also for sale in the Shop at the Morris Arboretum. RAP discounts do not apply to special ticketed events, such as concerts or members’ only events. PLEASE NOTE: The 90-mile exclusion policy of the RAP Program is enforced and excludes free admission to members of gardens who are within a 90-mile radius of the Morris Arboretum.

Morris Arboretum is proud to be a smoke free environment. In keeping with our commitment to maintaining a healthy and safe environment, the use of all tobacco products (including smokeless tobacco) is prohibited anywhere on the property. This covers all smoking methods, including but not limited to the use of electronic smoking devices (e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes) and hookah smoked products.
Please note, visitors are not allowed to climb or sit on the limbs of trees. The Arboretum is home to a number of champion trees, some of which are very old. With 130,000 visitors annually, climbing becomes a safety issue for both children and the trees. We don’t want any visitors or trees to break a limb. Thank you!
We ask that you be respectful of the garden, including:
