Missouri Botanical Garden

There are plenty of things to do here year round. In winter they have the Orchid Show, in the summer they have the Whitaker Music Festival (Wednesday nights), and during Labor Day weekend, they have the Japanese Festival. During the holidays, they have the Gardenland Express holiday flower and train show.

They have some incredible horticultural displays: the Chinese Garden, the English Woodland Garden, the Ottoman Garden and the Victorian District. They even have a tropical rainforest in the Climatron observatory!

You can eat at the Sassafras, the Cafe Flora, and the Terrace Cafe. The Terrace Cafe is open from April through October. After a snack, you can buy souvenirs from the Garden Gate shop or from the Little Shop Around the Corner.
