Great Garden; A Must Go
What a terrific botanical garden! We went on a wet, misty, cold October morning and delighted in this garden. The signage within each area is very informative. Beyond admission, a separate fee of $5 provides a 30-minute tram tour around the garden. Tram driver Emma safely navigated as tour guide narrator extraordinaire Fred shared his knowledge, love, and enthusiasm for the site. Consider it an orientation to the gardens and its founder Henry ShawC, so thanks to Fred you will want to wander to relatively remote areas. The Climatron is effectively a hot house with plants from ferns to fruit. The Children’s Garden is so much more than a garden with activities and areas to explore. We look forward to a return visit.

Beautiful gardens.
This is a nice botanical garden. The front entrance has a lot of construction going on right now. It was a peaceful way to spend an afternoon. There is a charge for admission; this is not like the St. Louis Zoo or Science Center (which charge for parking). There is free parking in a lot (check the lot even if it says it is full, because there were lots of empty spaces when we went) and parallel parking along an adjacent street. We particularly enjoyed feeding the koi fish and ducks/geese. Bring quarters to buy feed. Kids will enjoy this activity. I was surprised to see an additional charge for adults to go to the children’s garden. That just seems wrong.
