I always love going to the Botanical Gardens. It is truly peaceful and you can walk all day around the gardens. They offer things for kids to do and the beauty of the outdoors is sure to please adults as well. The gardens continue to expand and they have added a train exhibit, which I have heard is great (I plan on going next week to check it out!) At the Botanical Garden you will find true beauty.

A fairly new botanical garden which is in the process of being developed. Gardens include a Victorian walled garden, a beautiful peaceful garden in the glen with a stream, and benches to sit upon and contemplatethe beauty. A rose garden, an herb garden, etc with other gardens in various planning stages. A garden which must be visited at least ...

Although the main building was quite beautiful the rest of the outside "gardens" were barely that. If you are out for education ie: what's the scientific name for that tree then go for it. I could hardly see why they called it garden, the only way they call this 2 mile walk in a large empty park is by planting herbs every 200 yards. On a nice day the $2 specials might be worth the walk and the very nice entry building.
