The Gardens have set aside a place specifically for children. It is wonderfully whimsical, with giant butterflies, bubble machines, misters, all sorts of fountains that the kids can play in, Hobbit doors, towering sunflowers, and just so many different things for the kids to explore and play with. It also has an access point to the Butterfly House, where there are plenty of butterflies, turtles, frogs, and even a type of quail.
The kids had a ball romping about, laughing and schreeching, checking out every little thing and getting soaked in the fountains. The grown ups chatted with each other and strolled about, basking in the freedom to let their kids basically run about free on the extremely kid-friendly terrain. It was a super time and a wonderful visit for all of us. Can't wait to do it again!
Where are those rascally turtles??

The water that said "Drink Me" magically shrunk us so we could all fit into this one chair!
