DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS

Just north of Cherry Creek, in Cheesman Park, Denver's botanical garden is a floral and vegetable oasis. Park the 9 hectares and 45 gardens that bring together some 3,300 plants, making the park one of the most popular natural conservatories in the United States. Relax in the Japanese garden, climb the Rock Alpine Garden and let kids gambader in the park of Mordecai. When it's cooler, choose the visit of closed buildings like orangerai and tropical conservatory, and when the softness is at the rendez-vous, take the time to wander among the many alleys between gardens and basins. For more information, please contact the Visitor Center at the entrance to the park.
