We love Taltree Arboretum. We take our dog for long walks on the property. Gardens, trees, paths, and of course, the railroad is awesome.
So glad to hear about your lovely day! The intricate railway garden is always a must see & do. It appeals to all ages. We look forward to your next visit.
Very pretty grounds...a little pricey to get in , but everything well kept. The scarecrow contest is cute.
Taltree is a hidden gem in Porter County. The trails are beautiful, gardens are amazing and the model train depot is spectacular. Membership is the way to go because you will want to keep coming back.
Visited with a friend and enjoyed the model railroad town as well as walking some of the pathways. Lovely, untouched prairie country. I'll be back.
Taltree Arboretum and Gardens has the largest public railroad garden in the Midwest. It truly is a gem in the prairie. While it is not located in town, it makes up for the drive by it's beauty. I can say that with a doubt I more than a couple of ideas back home for my railroad. The railroad garden is fully accessible, the concrete paths are great. If you have children, this is a must stop if our traveling on I-80,I-90,I-94. Just slip down and visit. I lost count of the number of bridges on the layout.
Spent an afternoon at Taltree Arboretum and Gardens. It was a most delightful surprise. The railroad and miniature plant exhibit is extremely well done and very interesting. A great place to take the kids. I would highly recommend it.

Thank you so much for visiting! Glad you were impressed by our Railway Garden. It is our most intricate garden. Bug spray and sunscreen are always a must whenever outdoors. We hope you'll come back again soon!
Started our anniversary weekend here -- the railroad exhibit was awesome - and the staff (our train operator and a volunteer/board member) were so informative about the creation of this huge operating train exhibit
