Visitors can stroll at their leisure throughout the Arboretum complex, including the Miles C Hartley Selections Garden, the Japan House and the Idea Garden. Guests who need help getting around will be greeted by motorized carts at the main entrance, which is located off Lincoln Avenue just south of Florida Avenue in Urbana, or at their cars, if necessary.
Admission is free.
Japan House, dedicated in 1998, serves as a classroom and Japanese cultural center. The Idea Garden, developed and maintained by the Master Gardeners of the Champaign County Extension, is divided into six areas and features detailed guide sheets listing plants, design ideas and helpful information. No reservations are required. Visitors should park along Lincoln Avenue near the Arboretum entrance.
