About this adventure

Matthaei Botanical Gardens, located northeast of Ann Arbor, features expansive natural areas and a large indoor tropical succulent conservatory. In late autumn, children can explore the Gaffield Children's Adventure Garden, stepping on fallen leaves, crossing log bridges, and building stick shelters, experiencing pure natural sensory play. The conservatory maintains a spring-like climate year-round, suitable for sheltered strolls. Pathways are smooth, and strollers can move easily through the conservatory and main visitor center, which offers well-equipped family restrooms and private nursing and changing spaces. This is suitable for families who love nature and seek a quiet, pleasant weekend morning away from the hustle and bustle.
