What To Expect

Denver Botanic Gardens

Denver Botanic Gardens began in 1951 and is one of the most visited and well-loved botanical gardens in the United States. Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the Gardens’ living collections encompass specimens from the tropics to the tundra, showcasing a plant palette chosen to thrive in Colorado’s semi-arid climate. The Gardens’ York Street location near Capitol Hill is a dynamic, 24-acre urban oasis in the heart of the city, offering unforgettable opportunities to flourish with unique garden experiences for the whole family – as well as world-class education and plant conservation research programs. The three-acre Mordecai Children’s Garden sits atop the parking structure and provides hands-on plant education and play spring through fall (open seasonally). While most of the gardens highlights Colorado native plants, there are beautiful gardens designed to showcase plants from around the globe, including Asia, the Middle East, South Africa, Patagonia, South and Central America and beyond. Special events, art exhibitions and guided tours takes place throughout the year. Nearly all of the York St location is wheelchair and stroller accessible; there are a few gravel paths and stairs, but different routes can be taken to see the area. Two dining options: Offshoots Café (open all year) and The Hive Garden Bistro (three-season) offer full meals, snacks and beverages. The Shop at the Gardens presents an incredible selection of garden-related tools, books and décor, along with locally-crafted home décor, tabletop items, accessories and bath and body items. A children’s section has a great selection of educational tools, books and toys. *Does not include admission to specially ticketed events such as Blossoms of Light.

My wife and I spent a hot and sunny day exploring the Denver Botanical Gardens. We had walked across town on a 90° day to visit, so we were hoping it was worth the effort. We were not disappointed. It was not the largest gardens we've visited, but there was a lot packed in there to enjoy. When we visited in early July, there was construction happening near the front gate, but we found it fairly easy to ignore once you got inside. There were both indoor and outdoor displays to explore. Considering the sheer volume of tourists attending, the grounds were very well maintained. It was definitely worth the price of admission to take a break from the sights and smells of all the homeless people lying around on the streets of Denver to enjoy sights and smells of nature instead :)

A true gem in the heart of Denver. It’s a wonderful oasis and is wonderfully maintained. There are so many different garden “areas” I’m sure we missed some even though we were there for a little over 2 hours. I would love to go back at different times of the year to see the changes that I’m sure occur during the changing of seasons. Give yourself enough time when you visit so you don’t feel rushed – this space is much bigger than you think.

Located in the middle of Denver, the garden is a true oasis. Quiet, lots to see, tropical garden of amazement. Unique art work scattered through out. After walking for an hour and half found great cafe,next to pond. We were able to relax and regain our energy to continue on,still only saw about half in 4 hours. Great day or 1/2 day for all.
