    During the Grand Opening weekend, stop by the Morris Arboretum Cafe that will be transformed into an American diner for the weekend. This year's theme, called Roadside Attractions, will feature replicas of some of the country's favorite roadside stops. It's like traveling across America without leaving home! Those who have spent weekends in Margate, New Jersey will surely recognize Lucy the Elephant, on display at the Morris Arboretum this summer. Other roadside attractions include The Big Duck of Hampton Bay, NY, Sapp Brothers Coffee Pot Water Tower of Council Bluffs, IA, Wigwam Village of Cave City, KY, and Teapot Dome gas station of Zillah, WA. A quarter mile track weaves in and out of the outdoor miniature world created by famed landscape architect, Paul Busse. In addition, special weekends are planned throughout the summer.
