about Texas Discovery Gardens:

Located in historic Fair Park, the Texas Discovery Gardens is an urban oasis that is open year-round. Within the gardens are ten different themed areas including a butterfly habitat, native wildlife pond, scent garden, shade garden, and heirloom garden.

Family memberships to the TDG are available, and perks include free admission to the garden, plant sale discounts, reduced workshop fees, and invitations to opening receptions.

Texas Discovery Gardens offers afterschool activities and other daytime educational programs for kids in pre-k through eighth grade, including science clubs and scout groups.

Summer programs are also available.

tips:

Picnics are welcome out in the Gardens, but you'll want to leave all food (except for bottled water) in the lobby when visiting the Butterfly House. Strollers are welcome inside the Butterfly House except during peak times (State Fair, festivals). Don't miss our noon butterfly release demonstration--daily inside the butterfly house!
