If you’re traveling near Kansas City or making a stop off Route 69, the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens is worth adding to your itinerary! 🌿
With gorgeous walking trails, beautiful gardens, a nature-inspired playground, a unique train display, coffee bar, clean restrooms, and peaceful scenery throughout, it’s the perfect place to stop and stretch your legs during a road trip.
The sculpture garden is currently the only area where dogs are permitted, so plan accordingly if you’re traveling with pets. 🐾
Be sure to check the hours on their website before visiting, and note that there is a small admission fee — except on the first Tuesday of each month when admission is free!
