What families say

Kids can happily spend time exploring the ponds and gardens spotting newts, turtles, and fish (a hit with a 5-year-old in one review), though the grounds aren't very stroller-friendly, so plan accordingly and pack a picnic. The place shines as a peaceful, well-maintained native plant garden with knowledgeable staff, occasional special events like art walks, and reviewers especially recommend springing for the welcome walk/tour to get more out of the visit for garden-curious kids and adults alike.

Ages 5–16
