About this adventure
The Missouri Botanical Garden is a National Historic Landmark spanning 79 acres of horticultural displays. On brisk winter days, the crowning jewel of the garden is the Climatron—a revolutionary half-acre geodesic dome conservatory enclosing a dense tropical rainforest heated to 85 degrees year-round. Families can stroll along elevated walkways past 2,800 exotic plants, crashing waterfalls, and koi ponds. Visitors can also step into the historic 1882 Linnean House, the oldest continuously operating greenhouse west of the Mississippi River, showcasing fragrant winter camellias. The new Jack C. Taylor Visitor Center offers seamless stroller navigation, dedicated family restrooms with baby changing amenities, comfortable nursing lounges, and indoor dining at the Sassafras Cafe overlooking the reflecting pools.
