The Pavilion at Arbor Day Farm

Our theatre offers a rare glimpse into "the hidden stars" of many movies . . . trees!

The Pavilion at Arbor Day Farm lets guests explore the magic of trees…and enjoy a one-of-a-kind educational experience.

Interactive and entertaining exhibits in the Pavilion engage visitors in learning to identify trees and in understanding the importance of trees. Visitors begin the experience with a "visit" from J. Sterling Morton himself. They walk through an indoor simulated forest, complete with the sounds of songbirds, storms, and streams. “Trees in the Community” and other interactive displays portray the importance of trees to our towns and cities, and to the countryside, and help visitors become personally involved in tree planting and environmental stewardship.

Through hands-on interactive kiosks, our visitors identify trees, learn about care, planting, and conservation practices, and play games that entertain and educate.

Our visitors have especially enjoyed our theatre, which plays “Trees in the Movies,” portraying how trees have played starring or supportive roles in the cinema.

Reserve your stay at Lied Lodge And Conference Center and plan to bring your whole family for a few days of relaxation, education, and fun.
