in Denver, CO 80206about Denver Botanic Gardens:
Denver Botanic Gardens takes advantage of the city's unique high altitude, climate, and geography. Western Panoramas, a Water-Smart Garden, a Dryland Mesa, and the Laura Smith Porter Plains Garden showcase native and adapted plants that thrive in Western gardens. The Garden's 23-acres feature over 15,000 plant species.
The three-acre Mordecai Children's Garden opened in August 2010 and features a hands-on place to play, explore, and discover. Kids enter through a cave and emerge to discover the wonder of six environments that allow them to build forts, watch insects at work, create crafts, observe riparian wetland ecosystems at Pipsqueak Pond, splash in a stream, harvest home garden goodies, take strolls along Marmot Way, and much more.
The Garden regularly schedules classes and day camps for children between the ages of three to 14. Open daily is the Discovery Room for Families, which offers an up-close exploration of the world of plants. Visitors can choose from a variety of hands-on activities, games, models, and books. The Discovery Room is located on the second floor bridge of the Education Building overlooking the main lobby.
Additional sites at Chatfield Nature Preserve and Mt. Goliath are also under the Gardens' purview.
Family/General membership admits up to six people, among other benefits, and costs $80 a year.
