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.

We had a summer vacation in the area and stopped. Very beautiful and loved the glass sculpture. The kids enjoyed themselves despite being teenagers. Glad we took the time to smell the roses.

Our friend, a Denver resident for at least 65 years, took us to these gardens. How well arranged everything is. Unobtrusive signs identify plants and flowers. Meandering trails lead one from one gorgeous display to another. When in Denver, do not miss this absolutely delightful venue. It is so much larger than other gardens we have visited around the country.

The best botanic garden I've seen. It is beautiful, large, well groomed, has a huge variety of plants, and has detailed information about the plants. It would take more than one visit to really go through it. It is popular, so best seen in the morning soon after it opens. I visited in June, an excelent time. There would be less to see in wintertime.
