The Morton Arboretum is the champion of trees, and – just in time for Valentine’s Day – we celebrate the cacao tree, which gives us the delight of chocolate. During Chocolate Weekend, guests can celebrate the deeply rooted tree history of chocolate by sampling a unique array of chocolate items and purchasing specialty chocolates and treats for themselves and their loved ones.

ADMISSION

The weekend event is included with Arboretum admission. Please be sure to purchase or reserve your timed-entry tickets in advance.
