I think this is the best botanical garden I have ever visited. I didn't even make it through the majority of the place since my 3 year old was getting cranky, but was completely amazed by what I saw. The staff was friendly, helpful, and very patient with my oldest who will talk your ear off. The three year old wondered off the path once or twice when my attention was elsewhere, and the staff gave him a gentle warning without making me feel like a bad parent for not having my eyes glued to him every second. There were tons of learning activities and seating found throughout the portion I was able to visit. Before we left, I bought a family membership as I see us returning on multiple occasions.
