About this adventure
The centerpiece Lucile Halsell Conservatory features five subterranean glass pavilions designed by legendary architect Emilio Ambasz, housing tropical rainforests, cloud forest ferns, and desert succulents in naturally climate-controlled warmth that feels delightful on cool winter mornings. The 2.5-acre Zachry Family Adventure Garden is purpose-built for children to connect with nature through unstructured creative play. Children can navigate grassy labyrinths, scramble over limestone boulders, discover Texas stream ecologies at No Name Creek, build forts from natural limbs, and explore sensory flower beds. The garden features smooth paved paths throughout for easy stroller navigation, accessible family restrooms, sensory garden quiet zones, and the charming Jardin restaurant for garden-fresh family lunches.
