This is a nice place to get out of the city and just walk around. It's pretty in the fall with the leaves changing. I've been in the spring, but it seems that for a botanical garden it isn't as well-planted as I thought it would be. The fountains are beautiful and the bromeliad gardens are lovely. It's nice to do something different and quiet for a change though it's expensive for what it is. Even when they have events, they seem a bit half-baked. I don't have kids, so maybe if they did more adult-oriented things it would be interesting to go more often.
