Myriad Botanical Gardens: Late Autumn Nature Walks & Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory

About this adventure

Nestled in downtown Oklahoma City, Myriad Botanical Gardens offers seventeen acres of lush urban parkland and the breathtaking Inasmuch Foundation Crystal Bridge Conservatory. On Thanksgiving weekend, families can take refreshing late-autumn strolls along winding pathways bordered by ornamental grasses, golden cypress foliage, and peaceful sunken lakes filled with swimming koi. Inside the 224-foot cylindrical glass conservatory, warm tropical air and cascading waterfalls welcome visitors to explore exotic rainforest plant species, towering palm trees, and elevated skywalks offering panoramic garden views. Children head straight to the Children's Garden, where creative play structures, log climbing scrambles, and outdoor sensory gardens provide endless opportunities for imaginative outdoor adventure while parents relax on surrounding park lawns.
