Even on a chilly and rainy day the path and walk through the arborium or wonderful. Well labeled trees and beautiful scenic views.

The trails are lovely, easy strolls through gorgeous gardens. The pavilion overlooks the lake, and the wildflower fields attract loads of pollinators. We love visiting at different times to see all of the different flowers in bloom!

Amazing place, in memory of Elmer, who was an amazing guy who worked here in the 80s. Great local plants for sale, fair prices! Well kept place! Doughnuts pictured purchased from a nearby Mary Lee location :)

Interesting & peaceful place. Free admission. Very clean. Loads of information about native trees & plants. Majestic & massive trees. Loved our quick stroll through. Gift shop on premises.

This location is where I got married two years ago. It is just so beautiful. I love the giant tree in the center. We went back for family pictures and it was just so gorgeous.The photo fee is reasonable.

Wonderful and lovely place to stroll as well as to purchase some greenery!Its not a long stroll, but perfect to take kids on a walk to teach them the names of many varieties of trees, shrubs, and ferns. Its short enough that most children would be interested most of the way through.Its a beautiful venue for a wedding, too. The space is serene, the pavilion next to the pond is open, and there really would be so much natural beauty! I wish I had scheduled my wedding here, but my guest list was too long to be sure wed all fit. We wouldnt once it was all days and done. Maybe for another party!

Wonderful park, cool in the shade of the hundreds of trees even in full summer. The kids really love rolling down the hill and being able to run freely. Excellent educational and fun experience with several habitats represented and all plants and trees identified. Brought to us by LSU.

Great place. Peaceful and uplifting.

Relaxing, fascinating, beautiful. And so many super cute turtles swimming around in the pond!

Great place for picnics, dog walking, and small trails with bridges and lots of greenery.

Interesting facility. The grounds are beautiful, and the presentation room was very nice

Its winter bit still beautiful...cant wait for the spring.

The trails are great and the scenery is great

My husband and I will forever love this spot and return to it yearly as it was the place we were married Amy is super sweet!

Kids love this place. Lots of space and interesting wildlife and plants to explore.

Very well kept. Great for a family outing, or just a walk through. Many trees and shrubs marked with plaques for an informative visit, allowing you to learn about the genus and species. They also sell plants, and have plant sale events throughout the year. Highly recommend a walkthrough.

Very small. But a nice relaxing stroll. Gree and open to the public from dusk till dawn. Photographers need a permit $25 I believe .

Such a beautiful place to visit and enjoy nature.

Beautiful place to walk.

Beautiful trails. Calm and serene. Free. Easy access.

Beautiful, serene retreat. Great place to soak in natures beauty. Lovingly maintained by volunteers.

Small, quaint, quiet. A great place to rest the soul.....

Its one of the most peaceful places in Baton Rouge for sure! Green and serene.

Beautiful grounds.

Great place to learn about trees

Beautiful! We had some family pictures taken there a few years back and they turned out stunning! We are having a wedding reception there for some very close friends and its just beautiful reasonably priced. Couldnt think of a better place to visit with my family.

This space is a garden on Highland Rd, serving the Baton rouge community by offering a collection of plants established since the mid 20th century.The current status(August 2019) has an established ravine and pond, with the wildflower meadow in early stages of establishment.A definite destination for anyone that enjoys the outdoors.

Beautiful place. Lots of paths, and its free. They also sell plants.We had a day - long retreat there yesterday. The staff and room were awesome.I highly recommend it, especially if you need to relax and de-stress.

We visited for Plantfest! And will be back. The grounds were wonderful. Peaceful, beautiful, well maintained. We enjoyed our time there very much.

Top Notch facility, great staff and can also buy Louisiana native plants. Must attend Spring and Fall Plant sales for amazing selection and talk to the experts.

Hidden Gem of Baton Rouge! A must see place. All volunteer people who enjoy gardening and nature.

This is a hidden gem. beautiful grounds, pavilion, & auditorium. friends of mine had their wedding reception here and it was gorgeous. the staff is very knowledgeable, friendly & helpful.

The hilltop is actually the garden of Eden. Do not eat any apples offered to you by serpents while you visit the arboretum.

The Rain Tree is in full bloom.

A relaxing way to get away without actually leaving the city. Carefully planted, but very natural.

Fun little place to stop for some quiet and some nature. Short walking path.

Its a cool place to walk around and see all the plants they have growing. They have some for sale too!

Pretty small location with a decent variety of plants. Smells great and is worth a visit. Nice to examine and chat about plants.

Beautiful facility! Loved the peaceful books where you can quietly sit. Public restrooms would be nice however.

Photoshoot took some amazing pics @iamflawlessross

Pretty clean environment. Nice people

Beautiful place, I did love the way it looked before. But now its very clean and serine! They sadly took all the oaks trees down :(I think someone should consider a rail on the walk-around on the lake.

Beautiful place to walk around and take in the nature.

No one to greet guests. . Not much to see. Somewhat disappointed... the houses down the road where more interesting and prettier to look at!

Tucked away in a residential neighborhood this small arbretum is beautiful and quiet. There is a small pond with lots of turtles in spring and summer, a nice boardwalk surrounding the pond as well as a covered deck overlooking the water. The buildinngs are pretty but have never been open when I have been there. Have picknicked and hung out there walking around. Seldom anyone there so it is a great place to ponder, read and think.

Nice short walking trail. Free entrance and pleasant environment. Has clean restrooms and a book store. We usually spend about 1 hr walking the trail and checking out plant species.

Great place to get a short hike on in Baton Rouge. The volunteers are super helpful and friendly. There are many different species of trees and plants. They also have plant sales semi-annually. This is a must visit.

Nice selection, good prices. Good feelings.

Very pretty and serene. Out of the way of the hustle and bustle

Wonderful little place, under construction at the moment but have enjoyed for years

Hilltop will hold its 35th Annual PlantFest Saturday, Oct. 6 from 9 am to 4 pm and Sunday, Oct. 7 from noon to 4 pm. Please check Hilltops website for a plant list one week before the sale!

Beautiful experience peaceful as well rated 3 stars simply because they are still building the area but it is very informative and resourceful

The place is beautiful. The employees make me feel like they are mass murderers looking for their next victims. I was too creeped out to stay long.

I feel so serene here

Small but beautiful. Walked for about an hour. Plants were labeled making it very interesting.

Small Arboretum, nice for little kids. Beware of fire ants. Many trees are labelled, but more signage would be helpful in identifying species. Popular location for plant sales. Look out especially for native plants.

Not the same. Disappointed.

Great place for pics

I go here at least once a week. This is a very good spot to clear your mind and enjoy nature.

Nice spot for a walk, good for Niantic games.

Always a beautiful view to be found at the Hilltop Arboretum.

Relaxing place

Nice place for a quiet family picnic. Easily accessible trail for younger children.

Open to the public, but unfortunately did not see anything that would rank it in the top 10 things to do in Baton Rouge.

Very peaceful, beautiful, and well maintained place.

The area is spacious and most of the plants are labeled. If you arent there for an event then dont schedule more than an hour to see everything.

Beautiful scenery, all provided for free to walk through by the LSU agricultural department.A good addition to a date if youre strapped for cash and want to spend time with your special someone.

If you like outdoors and nature walkes!

Excellent serene place to visit and relax. Learn about Louisianas native vegetation and rich history.

Beautiful facility. Free to the public.

Beautiful and well preserved beauty! A natural gem in Baton Rouge

Great place to support our local community!

Beautiful! Took some family pics, even when its pouring, its beautiffuly kept.

Beautiful grounds with great pavillion. Dont miss their plant sale!

Nice place to take walks in early morning or late evenings in Baton Rouge.

Clean. Looked like what Louisiana would be if people cared and the state was clean.

Its a quiet, beautiful resting spot in the busy city. The buildings are beautiful and the native plant education is excellent

This dirty city has acquired a beautiful arboretum, it is serene and picruresque. From photo shoots, to picnics this arboretum is a place for all, the facility is clean and the staff is kind and accomidating. 10/10 would go again. A Baton Rouge must!

Such a peaceful place.

Good destresser

Great place to take pictures

Good services but not to clean

Great selection of native plants for sale. The actual arboretum is quite small and incomplete compared to other arboretum.

Great view, well taken care of.
