we went here this past weekend as a way to enjoy the beautiful weather with the kids. dare i say, we love this place! first of all, it's FREE. we went on a saturday, so it was super quiet. there did not seem to be a parking issue or need to worry about paying for parking. we just parked in a lot right by the greenhouse, and all was good. my 2 littles loved all the plants in the greenhouse, and they really enjoyed the change in temperature from room-to-room. we took a stroll in the gardens across from the greenhouse, and although they weren't quite blooming--we loved how peaceful it was. we really look forward to coming back and seeing what pops out as the weather gets warmer.
