Location/Hours
Just one hour's drive east of Phoenix or 90 minutes north of Tucson -- its no wonder the Arboretum has repeatedly been voted "Best Day Trip" in polls of Arizona residents.
The
Arboretum is located at Highway 60 Milepost #223 near the historic copper
mining town of Superior, about one hour's drive due east of Phoenix on the
Superstition Freeway. Do you need Maps and Directions? Arizona State Parks has an excellent map/direction page to help you get here.
Arriving from Tucson? Take Oracle Road North to Highway 79, continue through
and past the town of Florence to the junction where Highway 79 meets Highway
60, then turn right and drive another 12 miles East on Highway 60 to our front
gate. Adult Admission is $9 for adults, $4.50 for ages 5 to 12; children under
age five are admitted free.
Summer Hours: during May, June, July and August the Arboretum is open
daily from 6:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Paid admissions are accepted until 2:00
p.m The day's final visitors admitted at Two O'Clock so those final arrivals
still have one full hour to enjoy the gardens and trails -- and the park closes
promptly at 3:00 p.m.
Winter hours: From September-through-April admission is taken daily
from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (every day except December 25) and during Fall,
