FAQs

Question

How do I get to your venue?

Answer

To get to the Thornhill Education Center at the Morton Arboretum, you will first enter the Morton Arboretum through the main entrance off Illinois Route 53 in Lisle, Illinois. All Arboretum visitors enter through these gates, so be prepared for a slight delay in entry lines. Please plan to arrive 20 minutes early to account for travel and parking. After passing through the Arboretum's admission gate, you will be directed to the West Side campus. The West Side can be reached by driving through an underpass just west of the Visitor Center. Please follow the signs to Thornhill Education Center and park in lot P21.
