The mission of the Arboretum is to engage the academic strengths of the University in promoting scholarship and education about plants and their history and importance on earth.
There is no admission charge to visit the Arboretum and free parking (cars only) is available to visitors in the parking lot at the H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens. The Arboretum, including the gardens, is open for visitation every day from dawn until dusk.
The Arboretum needs your support. All funding for maintenance, public events, and growth of the Arboretum comes from private gifts, and we depend heavily on the help of volunteers to get it all done.
Above all else, the staff and supporters of The Arboretum at Penn State are dedicated to excellence, emphasizing the quality of collections, materials, function, and design.
