Incredible free garden with beautiful outdoor displays. The indoor garden is also great, it does have a small fee though. Make sure to go to the Thai garden it is amazing.

It's worth the $2 to see the amazing assortment of tropical plants in the dome, while the outdoor gardens are free and great for meandering around with kids

16 acres of manicured gardens along with an indoor conservatory . Just southeast of the Botanical Gardens is a new beer garden .

The botanical garden is definitely worth the 2 USD. Bring a camera , & take lots of pictures. Climb the tower also!

We recommend you bike here! The paths leading directly to the gardens see sights such as community gardens and coops. Be sure to save some film for the gardens--the colorful foliage is striking.

Story time here is amazing! The teacher is great & the craft activities are outstanding. Register early as classes fill quickly.

The Thai pavilion is beautiful. In the winter the conservatory will help warm you up.

You absolutely cannot skip the Thai Pavilion if you're here. You'll kick yourself otherwise. It's magical
