Most beautiful thing in Denver.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/22/06
Denver's Botanic Gardens are beautiful, especially their tropical indoor garden and it's a nice contrast to the dry, extreme weather conditions outside. The other gardens were gorgeous too and I saw things I never knew existed. It was a very romantic date and I can't wait to go back again. Make sure to visit fairly early in the day though; there's a lot to see!

A walk among the flowers...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/26/05
The Botanic Gardens is a great place to take your sweetie. A walk among the roses is very romantic. There are tons of different plants and flowers to see and photograph. It's a great place to go even if you don't have much of a green thumb.

Heaven in Heaven

Great way to leave the city without the drive. Great summer music shows. The flowers usually bloom year round, In the winter, great light show with lots of mistletoe.

Nice, quiet and relaxing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/27/05
If you're looking for a day of wandering looking art gorgeous flowers and gardens, I suggest going here. I loved my time here (almost 6 hours to see everything at my own pace) and was very happy with the minimul money spent to get in. Very lovely displays and statues as well. Would definitely go back.

The variety and simplicity was amazing. The garden's made you feel humble in natures presence, yet relaxing to just to be there.

A Great Place for Taking Photos!
By J, 07/09/05
My gf and friends and I loved this place! We went on a free educational tour and learned a lot about Denver and its surprisingly desert-like climate. (Be ready to sweat while here in July, though. So hot!) There is potential for lots of great picture-taking here. The ponds are great. We caught a glimpse of a small wedding ceremony as well. Don't miss the greenhouse; it's the best! The scenic benches, stairways up a tree, and the Cloud Tree all provide great points to view beautiful plants and flowers from around the world!
