Denver Botanic Gardens
4.8 (18,643)park
4.8 (18,643)This 24-acre urban sanctuary features vibrant plant collections, art exhibitions, and a scenic outdoor amphitheater.
Description
Beyond the plant collections, the grounds host weddings and bring musicians to the UMB Amphitheater. The pathways are highly manicured and colorful, offering a green, peaceful escape. However, this atmosphere shifts when the site becomes extremely crowded on weekends and parking is difficult to find. For longer visits, the property includes a gift shop and several spots to grab a bite.
