City of midland sunk a mint into this place. Dow Gardens has always been a beautiful arboretum but the Whiting Forest addition is mind-blowing. Must see if you’re in Michigan.

Amazing! I can’t say enough about how wonderful this is. It’s a calm, beautiful nature walk with fun spots for the kids to enjoy. It’s beautiful and well maintained and the cafe has wonderful coffee. We will definitely be back!

It's ok. If there were still stars I'd give it 3. MUCH smaller than I expected it to be, especially the "canopy walk". To me it wasn't worth the 2hr drive.

This is a hidden treasure in the middle of Midland. There are several lakes, tall trees, wildlife and beautiful plant life everywhere. You can even find places away from people to enjoy some quiet time.

The absolute coolest thing to do in Midland if not in Michigan! Here is a video of our family's experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlElh0w9Vg4&t=3s.

Amazing wheelchair accessible canopy, park, garden and forest path. My daughter uses a power wheelchair and got to participate in everything!
