Eye-Popping Sculptures Await You at This Illinois Arboretum

Have you have ever visited Lake Malone in Muhlenberg County KY or Bernheim Forest in Clermont between Elizabethtown and Louisville? If so, then you are no stranger to amazing and gigantic sculptures that could prove quite startling if you didn't know they were there.

And that means you are more than prepared for what awaits you in Lisle IL, home of the Morton Arboretum. It's one of those wonderful attractions combine a lot of fun with a lot of science. Fun and education make for a good combination, and you'll find no shortage of either at the Morton Arboretum, a public garden and outdoor museum. It's like a nature and science amusement park, as you'll see here:

And then when you arrive, and you venture out into the arboretum, take a look at what you'll encounter.

But wait, there's more:

The Morton Arboretum offers so much to do, you might have to split up your trip. Programs for children AND adults; exhibitions like the Grand Garden and Wonder Woods Mini-Gold; the Schulenberg Prairie and the Rose Family Collection of shrubs, flowers, and fruit trees. They're all part of this amazing wonderland in northern Illinois.

And don't miss a visit to the Center for Tree Science, the hub for scientists from around the world who contribute their knowledge and technical experience "to secure the future of trees." Essentially, if you come away with a better understanding of the importance of growing and maintaining trees and plant life, the Morton Arboretum has done its job.

There are plenty of great days left to enjoy a road trip up to Chicagoland and experience the wonders of the Morton Arboretum. Don't miss out.
