Nights at the Arboretum
Come roam the trails with your flashlight, look at the stars, make s’mores on the patio and enjoy nocturnal educational opportunities after dark at the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens.
It’s like being a kid again! Only you don’t need to go home when the street lights come on.
