A pleasant visit, will return again in the spring next year. We were scouting out places for my father's 90th B-Day celebration. We wanted to visit pretty places easily accessible and something of interests to an active, older adult. This place fit the bill. The newly renovated walkways were wide and easily negotiated offering plenty of traction for footing and very few if any steps to negotiate in the areas we walked. there are public bathrooms at the Donald E. Davis Arboretum in Auburn, AL, located on the east side of the pavilion. The arboretum is open daily from sunrise to sunset and has no admission fee. We came at the very end of the season in terms of foliage (second week in November). There were fellow botanists taking notes and snapping pictures of plants and other nature lovers. We saw lovers just hanging out and enjoying their surroundings and each other. Then we also saw other people just out for a lovely stroll, enjoying the peace, community and Zen of this place. There is a pond and waterfall, a couple of quaint little bridges and a small grassy area for some fun with little ones if they are included in your visit. Nearby there is a Taco Bell for fast food an

Such a beautiful and peaceful spot! The Davis Arboretum Pavilion has a stunning view of the surrounding greenery, and it's incredibly relaxing to just sit and take it all in. A perfect place to unwind, enjoy nature, and find a quiet moment away from everything. Highly recommend if you're looking for a scenic and calming escape!

It was ok. Nice and shady. Pretty flowers. If you want some solitude or a place to read a book out in nature, it would be a good place to go to.

The arboretum is a lovely free place to take a stroll and see the local trees, bushes, flowers, plants, wildlife, pond, small waterfall, and enjoy the shade. I walk there on my lunch breaks (very close to Auburn University campus), and it is always a calm and peaceful place to visit. There is a nice loop of walking path but also more that extend beyond that and some in the middle. In spring you can enjoy the amazing azaleas blooming- various colors of orange, yellow, pink, red, and white.
