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.

To be honest, I didn't want to go to the botanic gardens, but a friend from the area talked us into going.....and it was INCREDIBLE!! It was so much bigger than I thought it would be and offered so much diversity! My daughters loved looking for fish in the coi ponds, while my friends' son loved rolling down the hills! The Denver Botanic Gardens also offered tranquility in the middle of town, which was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. We loved seeing the unique art the park had to offer and enjoyed smelling a variety of different flowers. We will definitely be back!

If you have a few hours in Denver, you will be hard pressed to find a better way to spend it than to wander through these gardens. It is a great place to meet a friend for a coffee or lunch or wander by yourself contemplating all the different plants. I visit about once a month and enjoy seeing all the different seasons of blooms throughout the gardens. I meet friends here often and really enjoy the different programs they offer here. There is always something happening here. if you haven't visited yet, you should and if you have already, you should go again and again!

I visited the gardens in July with my daughter, her husband and their 10-year-old son. We all agreed that it was the most wonderful botanical gardens. I have been to many gardens in the United States and abroad. I would rank this as one of the very best. We kept wondering how they could manage to do such a beautiful job. It was very large and beautifully executed architecturally in every way. They must have enormous funding. An absolute must if you are visiting Denver!
