About this adventure

Located on 380 acres along Lake Wylie in Belmont, Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden offers a lush botanical sanctuary throughout the winter season. Families can warm up inside the 8,000-square-foot Orchid Conservatory, brimming with tropical palms, cascading waterfalls, and hundreds of vibrant blooming orchids. Kids will love exploring Lost Hollow: The Kimbrell Children's Garden, an enchanting fairy-tale adventure featuring stone castle turrets, recessed sunken gardens, wooden play bridges, and winding forest trails. Paved walkways allow smooth navigation for strollers, and the Garden Store Cafe offers warm seasonal cider and snacks.
