An Arboretum-wide exhibit called Tree Adventure featuring the dramatic Out on a Limb structure opened to rave reviews at the Morris Arboretum. The central theme of the exhibit explores the relationship between plants and people with its central message: we need trees, and trees need us.  Armed with a Passport to Adventure, visitors travel the expanse of the Arboretum’s 92-acre garden to learn the critical role trees play in our environment while having fun engaging with trees. 
 
The iconic centerpiece of the Morris Arboretum’s Tree Adventure exhibit is Out on a Limb, a striking new 450-foot long walkway that soars 50 feet above the ground, and gives visitors a bird’s eye view of the forest. From Out on a Limb, visitors will cross a Suspension Bridge to a giant Bird’s Nest (where they can sit on huge robin’s eggs), scamper onto the Squirrel Scramble’s rope-netting skirting two towering trees, head to the top of the Wissahickon Vista platform for sweeping views, or just wander along the Canopy Walk rising high above the forest floor.

Designed by Metcalfe Architecture & Design, the exhibit is a fully accessible, fascinating learning experience for both children and adults. Learn more about the green elements of the design here.
