Our Morning Wandering Through Crosby Arboretum 🌿

Frugal Family Travelers enjoyed a morning traversing through the Crosby Arboretum — a beautiful property with a rich history. At the heart of the visit was the striking Pinecote Pavilion, designed by architect E. Fay Jones, and nestled beside a serene pond. The Arboretum offers families a chance to wander through native landscapes while learning about the conservation of Mississippi plants and habitats. Beauty abounds across the grounds with savannas, woodlands, ponds, and gardens waiting to be explored. You will want to plan enough time to soak up all that it offers.

Cost:

$5 adults; $4 seniors/military; $2 children (12 & under)

Directions to Crosby Arboretum:

370 Ridge Road, Picayune, MS 39466

Hours: Wed–Sun: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM (last admission 4:00 PM)

The Arboretum features over 3 miles of hiking trails that wind through savannas, forested areas, and along the edges of ponds. Visitors will find interpretive signage that helps explain the diverse habitats and native plants found throughout the property. The Pinecote Pavilion is a highlight — a peaceful open-air structure that has become an iconic symbol of the Arboretum. Be sure to check the Crosby Arboretum website for monthly programming, which includes plant sales, guided walks, workshops, and family-friendly events throughout the year.
