Member tickets are $6 per person for kids four to 17 years old and $8 for adults 18 and over. Guest tickets are $8 for kids four to 17 years old and $10 for adults 18 and over.

“Each hole brings the Arboretum’s tree research to life in a playful way,” Amy Scott, the arboretum's head of exhibitions said in a statement in November 2023, when Morton Arboretum announced the popup course.

Scott added, “We want to foster a connection between trees and people, and inspire everyone to work toward the best ecological outcomes for generations to come, while having a great time.”
