## About

Cylburn Arboretum is a 200-acre historic gem nestled in North Baltimore, combining extensive wooded parkland, specimen tree collections, and Victorian architectural heritage. In winter, the arboretum's wide, gently graded paved and packed carriage paths provide smooth, mud-free stroller walking through quiet evergreen groves and majestic champion trees.

When little fingers and toes get cold, families can step inside the heated, ADA-accessible Cylburn Greenhouses to experience warm tropical air, flourishing desert succulents, citrus trees, and seasonal winter blooms. The expansive grounds around the historic stone Cylburn Mansion provide open lawns for toddlers to stretch their legs safely away from car traffic. Free parking, outdoor picnic pavilions, and accessible restrooms inside the Vollmer Center make Cylburn an effortless, serene outdoor winter destination.
