## About

Nestled in North Baltimore, Cylburn Arboretum is a 200-acre public green oasis featuring centuries-old champion trees, formal historic gardens, and 3.5 miles of tranquil woodland trails. Over Thanksgiving weekend, families can bundle up for a peaceful post-feast walk to admire bare canopy silhouettes, spot overwintering songbirds and woodpeckers, and explore the exterior grounds of the magnificent Victorian stone Cylburn Mansion and the interactive Vollmer Visitor Center.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Paved carriage paths and paved walkways around the mansion and formal gardens accommodate all strollers; natural dirt trails feature gentle terrain suitable for hiking carriers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Clean restrooms with baby-changing facilities inside the Vollmer Center; rustic benches scattered throughout the magnolia and conifer collections.
• Age Suitability: All ages welcome; great for multi-generational walks with strollers, toddlers, and grandparents.
• Sensory Tips: One of Baltimore’s quietest and most tranquil public parks; crisp fresh air with plenty of wide open lawns for children to wander freely.
