Denver Botanic Gardens


The Denver Botanic Gardens is one of the favorite destinations for the traveler in Denver for more than 50 years. And it comes at no surprise, given that in this place the visitor can experience science and art fused into one wonderful environment of 23 acres. The family together can enjoy an artistic garden that is also a living laboratory in which you can learn about plant life and conservation programs. Children can adventure through the “Secret Path”, a hidden fantasy world where they can run through tunnels and play with giant organic instruments, pick-and-plant boxes, and many other natural wonders made specially for kids.

The gardens sit amidst the urban setting, providing an oasis in which you can discover amazing vegetation from all around the world including more than 17,000 plant species. The Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory is a popular landmark of the city, and within it you can find a huge assortment of exotic plants brought from different parts of the globe.

Several annual events are held at the gardens, such as Birdhaus Bash, Chatfield Music Festival, Blossoms of Light, Corn Maze Festival, Summer Concert Series, Chile Harvest Festival, Pumpkin Festival, and the Annual Plant sale. During these celebrations, the atmosphere of the gardens turns magical and you can have an unforgettable experience.
