About this adventure

Denver Botanic Gardens (York Street main garden) takes on an early winter appearance in early November. Its warm "Boettcher Tropical Conservatory" is a popular spot for families. The tropical conservatory is over 50 feet high, housing thousands of rare rainforest plants, giant Monstera plants, and waterfall ponds. Children walking through it may feel like they are exploring a tropical rainforest. The Mordecai Children's Garden (if open), designed for children, and a plant identification trail offer tactile sensory cards, guiding children to find pinecones and identify evergreen conifers and medicinal plants. The garden paths are wide and flat, paved with durable asphalt and wooden boardwalks, allowing strollers to move freely through the main conservatories and gardens. The visitor center has a nursing room and accessible changing tables with safety straps. A free multi-story parking garage is available across from the park, which may make it easier for families with strollers and picnic gear to enter.
