Highfield Discovery Garden Autumn Explorations & Family Garden Adventures

About this adventure

Tucked inside Glenwood Gardens in Woodlawn, Highfield Discovery Garden is a magical 12-acre wonderland designed specifically to ignite curiosity and imaginative outdoor play in young children. During late autumn, the garden's majestic trees display rich copper and crimson foliage, framing whimsical attractions like the 25-foot climbable Discovery Tree, a dwarf fairy village, an interactive model garden railway winding through miniature landscapes, and a hands-on vegetable garden. Families exploring during Thanksgiving week discover self-guided nature discovery prompts, leaf scavenger hunts, and child-sized potting stations. The enchanting setting encourages little ones to climb, imagine, and experience nature safely. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Paved, gently graded paths wind smoothly through all major garden realms, making strollers and wagons effortless to maneuver. The Discovery Tree features accessible boardwalk viewing ramps. • Nursing & Rest Spots: The Cotswold-style Garden Station visitor building provides clean, heated family restrooms, diaper-changing stations, and cozy seating alcoves. • Age Suitability: Tailored specifically for children ages 0 to 12 and their families, with interactive heights and toddler-safe climbing elements. • Sensory Tips: Calming, serene environment with natural water fountains, melodic chimes, and tactile plant textures. Visual aids and sensory exploration signs are situated throughout the garden.
