## About

Nestled on 200 acres of protected woodland in northwest Baltimore, Cylburn Arboretum hosts its beloved Holiday Greens Celebration and Twilight Stroll. The historic 1863 Victorian Vollmer Mansion is decked with fresh evergreen boughs, fragrant pine garlands, and woodland fairy displays crafted from natural botanical materials.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Illuminated Twilight Walk: From 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM, paved pathways surrounding the mansion and arboretum grounds are illuminated by warm fairy lights and luminarias, creating an enchanting, peaceful outdoor stroll.
• Children's Nature Crafts: Kids can participate in hands-on workshops using natural pinecones, sweetgum pods, and dried berries to assemble eco-friendly holiday bird feeders and woodland ornaments.
• Stroller Friendly: Paved asphalt and hard-packed gravel paths around the mansion grounds are flat and stroller accessible. Warming fire pits with hot spiced cider and cocoa provide cozy respites.
• Restrooms: Accessible restrooms with changing tables are available inside the Vollmer Visitor Center.
