The Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden is a place to discover, explore, pretend, search, observe and more. Children will learn about plants, nature and sustainability through hands-on activities offered daily and experience a one-of-a-kind nature playground at the same time.
Now though Nov. 1, entrance fees to the Children's Garden, normally $3 for Garden members and $5 for non-members, are waived. The Children's Garden is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Regular Missouri Botanical Garden entrances fees apply ($8 for adults; free for children ages 12 and under).
