Gorgeous
The staff was very helpful and kind. It was $5 to go in. You get a map and then get to explore. If you sweat easily, don't go on a warmer day, it gets steamy in the main house.

Great for Kids
We went for the first time on a Sunday early afternoon and surprisingly practically had the place to ourselves! We took our 6 year old daughter who loved feeding the koi & turtle in the koi pond and looking at all of the different flowers & plants. The kids garden is amazing, with a long "river" that my daughter walked all the way from top to bottom 3 times, you can take your shoes off & wade in it and has spray features. There is also an obstacle course, music station, vegetable garden, games, etc. We could have spent a lot longer in the kids area, as we didn't even get to do everything that was offered there. The train area was neat too. It was really a magical place, you feel like you are in a fairy tale! We will definitely be back, it is a great place to be out & enjoy nature.

Enjoyable Afternoon
We took our two young grandkids and we all loved the flowers at this place. They have a tropical garden, a butterfly garden, kids garden and a couple of others. Be sure to have the kids check out the obstacle course, and the Mississippi mock up. It was a hot day the kids loved walking in the "river". They have paintings of rural scenes and a big picture of mounted butterflies by the restroom. I do hope you will stop in and see this fine place.
