Skip to main content. After my girl was tired from playing, I placed her in her small umbrella stroller and went down the elevator and across York Street to the main gardens. On free days, the gardens staff directs visitors to use an alternate entrance, so be prepared to walk around and through the parking area to get in. This is a nice way to enter the museum because it immediately takes us past the tranquil fountain and waterfall feature. In fact, we decided this was the best place to stop and have our picnic lunch.
After lunch, we toured the main grounds of the botanic gardens, and to my surprise it was difficult to keep my little girl in her stroller, she wanted to check out everything! The indoor conservatory makes even an adult feel like Alice in Wonderland, with towering plants and trees densely populated among narrow walkways.
The outdoor exhibits feature Bonsai, lily pads, and even a section devoted to Colorado ecosystems. How they get sub-alpine trees and plants to grow in downtown Denver, I'll never know, but it's an amazing sight. We grow a vegetable garden at home, so the sight of growing peppers and other vegetables was really interesting, and we learned a few growing tricks as well.
For those who don't pack a lunch, there are restaurants in the indoor conservatory as well as a summer outdoor restaurant near the large center pond. I was surprised at the perfect balance of hands-on activities for play and exhibits to slowly walk through and enjoy in a peaceful setting. This is definitely a free day for the kids as much as the adults, and one I highly recommend.
