Our Trip to Cleveland Botanical Gardens
This giveaway is now closed
Recently my friend suggested we take our boys on a day trip to the Cleveland Botanical Garden. At first I was taken back that she would suggest such a place for 5 boys under 7 but man was I wrong. What a fun day we had!
Conveniently located in University Circle and just minutes from downtown Cleveland, Cleveland Botanical Garden is a oasis filled with so many beautiful flowers and unique plants that it makes the city just slip away. The Cleveland Botanical Garden boasts 20 gardens, Glasshouse Conservatory, a cafe, and gift shop and will keep you entertained for hours.
Our first stop was the The Glasshouse. This large conservatory boasts two separate climate controlled areas which will make you feel like you have traveled half way across the world. When we entered into the area of Madagascar, we were able to see some of the most unique plants in the world including one of the largest collections of Madagascan baobab trees. My boys loved exploring the paths and meeting a real chameleon and cute tortoises. You can even spot a few rare and colorful birds as well as touch “fuzzy plants”.
As you walk out of the doors on Madagascar you enter into the balmy rainforest of Costa Rica. This area just blew me away as my senses were on overload with all the sights, sounds, and smells. From the towering trees (and I mean towering!!) to the abundance of butterflies I think you’ll love this place too. You’ll even be able to walk through a stone grotto complete with a waterfall. Before you leave be sure to head up to the canopy walk where you’ll be able to look down at all of the beauty this area holds. Don’t forget your camera as you’ll be able to snag some great pictures as the feeding areas for both the butterflies and birds are on eye level.
After leaving the Glasshouse we ventured outside to Katherine Phillip Geis Terrace to have our snack. Located right nearby is a eatery with assorted snacks and drinks which offers indoor or outdoor seating. This area has a 74 foot-long reflecting pool which holds a variety of plants, water lilies and small fish as well as is the main entrance into the other outdoor gardens.
With the well maintained landscaping and bright flowers and gorgeous views, I think the Cleveland Botanical Gardens is absolutely breathtaking!
With so many paths and gardens to explore outside, we couldn’t wait to get started. The first outdoor area we headed to was the Hershey Children’s Garden. While I had seen pictures online, they were nothing compared to what I saw in person. As soon as we entered through the gate all the boys rushed to different areas to explore.
The Hershey’s Children Garden is filled with a fountain, kid-sized structures, a treehouse and much more. There are even special times during the day where children’s activities may be planned. With so much to see and do my boys didn’t want to leave.
As we left the Children’s Garden we found that there were many other gardens too. One of the best things that I loved about Cleveland Botanical Garden was the the amount of areas where the boys could run, jump, and investigate. There were so many nooks and crannies nestled inside each garden area.
As we walked along the paths we were able to see many of the different themed gardens such as, The Japanese, Woodland, and Inspirational Gardens. With so many inviting benches, flowered arches, hidden bridges, and a bevy of plants and flowers we easily spent half of the day exploring. I can’t to come back and visit during a different season!
