Beautiful park, even when it's 12° out. It's 189 acres of beauty. Remains to be BEAUTIFUL.

It was a very nice park. I would recommend a visit.

Always very clean and beautiful! I part wish they were less strict about drones/photography but i just got approved for a permit to fly so it's good to know it's not completely blocked off to professionals. It is what it is and I'm just glad I could get approved to fly 🪰

If you can get to this place while the leaves are changing color in fall, it’s well worth it. Saying this up front for those nearby. The most popular thing here seems to be the landscaped area in the front, which is indeed very pretty with some ponds and a very nice bridge along with some trees. The trees are obvious as this is an arboretum, but it is a nice view. The next main attraction is further back, and it’s a tower that has you climb several flights if stairs to get to the top. The view didn’t seem much more special than being on the ground in this case, but I’m probably in the minority. If it’s your first time it’s easy to get confused on the way back and wander around the wrong way, and even easier to do so on the way out if you’re going counter-clockwise on the wooded trail. Signs are not everywhere, just in a couple of spots. The trails in the back of this place are gorgeous, especially in October where you get the trail covered by orange and red leaves while most leaves are still in the trees. It’s a good hike that’s not too hard, with one major annoyance. When in the woods, you can clearly hear I-75 the entire time, and there’s more traffic sound than nature and it’s not close. It does not help with the mood. The good news is that the trails themselves are well marked, which is a surprise with how little there is of the sort in the more popular half. The trails saw little attention when I was there. This is probably worth a visit if nearby, and if all you want is the main arboretum and visitor center it’s probably a 5. The 4 is because the longer hike potential is hurt by a couple of annoying things, but it’s still a solid place.

All dogs are allowed here. Its a pretty good walk too if you take advantage of the forest trails surrounding the park
Within the week, I would assume by my yard
If you think it is needed right now, please work to start it, especially if you live near there... I do not live even a few hours from there.
Yes but it's an amazing party of nature. It's not overwhelming.
My google location will pop up and ask me if i want to write a review....
Yes, since Zip the Border Collie to control geese gone. May he RIP, such a gentle soul
No. It’s not zoo. It’s more of a park and an agricultural conservatory
I didn't see any when I was there in August '21...
Sorry I don't have the information for this question. The area is very wide and open, which would be perfect for aerial shots. However I'd contact this in charge of this facility to find out.
Leaves are changing now. On the trails the vines are a pretty red leading up to oranges and yellows!
I feel if it is two getting married, a minister and 5 guests without planning to have music or impede on someone walking in the park you would be fine. Now if you need reserved parking, reserved eating area, and a place for seating during the ceremony I would call Five Rivers, as this would definitely impact people visiting the recreation area. But, as Stephen said, the best thing to do is call them.
I just saw the first ones in North western Kentucky.
I think they have certain days of the year when you can fish in their ponds.
I go sit at picnic tables by Japanese bridge....or take a blanket sit under trees for shade...
They should no be plopping anything in the flowerbeds. I would had politely said something to them.
No, bikes are not allowed at Cox Arboretum, but the Miami Valley does have extensive trails available. There is also a Mountain bike trail at Huffman MetroPark
Yes
The trails and land are free. The building can be rented for events.
Plenty of places to sit and eat whether you like a table and bench or want to bring a blanket and have an old fashioned picnic lunch.
The Metroparks website says the butterfly house is "open May 1 to October 31, 8am to 10pm." "Peak season is july-august" With "knowledgeable volunteers on hand July 5 through August 3, Mon-Sat 10 am to 12 pm and Sun 12 to 2 pm" Hope that helps!
They usually open the Butterfly House in May. But the butterflies have not emerged from their cocoons yet. June and July starts emergence season and usually continues through August and September.
