    Erynn said:  This botanic garden spans 33 acres and includes a Kids Adventure Garden with a tree house, a "zoo" garden with animal sculptures, and more. In the main garden, there are habitats for birds, butterflies, and even an orchard. The on-site nursery lets you take a bit of greenery home, too.
