There are bathrooms in various places all across the Arboretum grounds, not just in the main building.

I looked at their website and it says The Applehouse reopens late August. It didn't have a date. You can call them directly for a date or watch their website arb.umn.edu. You can email them and ask arbinfo@umn.edu, or call (952) 443-1400.

Yes, reservations are required for all guests. Members and children 15 and under are free (but still need a reservation). Others are $15 per person.

Actually you can and in a variety of ways and yes they will accept a credit card. Here’s some info and a phone number to contact them regarding this specific gifting... Memorials and Tribute Gifts From buildings to benches, dozens of structures sprinkled throughout the Arboretum's 1,000 acres stand as personalized, one-of-a-kind tributes.

There are miles of trails and most are lit up from what I remember. One can also drive through. Due to the super cold temps, driving might be better. Happy Holidays!

There is a 3 mile loop but we took it on a tram ride. A lot of the displays are very close to the main building which wouldn't be much of a walk.

It's a drive around with places to park and walk around.

The drive through can still be pleasant with the current blossoming trees. Indoor space usually has a lovely juried art collection, nice gift shop and spot for lunch.
