Missouri Botanical Garden

What a beautiful botanical gardens right in the middle of a charming neighborhood. I think they said it was 76 acres. It was a perfect day to go. Mid-60's and sunny in March. I was surprised how many plants and trees were already in full bloom outside. They also have some great indoor areas. The glass dome was full of gorgeous plants and trees, with waterfalls and flowing water throughout. I loved the Japanese garden areas so much. So beautiful and relaxing. There were little pools with great statues around the grounds. I saw that there was a restaurant with cute outdoor seating, but we didn't eat there. Great store with so many fantastic and unique items/gifts. There were lots of people, but at most times, we didn't feel like it was too crowded. We enjoyed our visit.

It's spectacular. There is not much more to say. It's reasonably priced for admission. It's beautiful, the views from the random spots you can sit along the way around a particular area are all great. If you use the train, the drivers are all great and super knowledgeable about the flora. The glass artist that was on display had some stunning work.

Even before spring properly started, the gardens were lovely. The indoor areas were stunning, and I can imagine how beautiful the grounds will be once the plants come in. It's a huge place as well! Easily could spend hours there.
