We visited the botanical center when my son was less than a year old. It was more for something fun for mom and dad to do and get out of the house in the winter. It was a pretty place but certainly nothing extrememly exciting. We would go again if we had nothing better to do. All I really remember is the man at the door asked if I was under 12 (I was in my upper 20s!)
The botanical center, is a beautiful dome shaped conservatory. The conservatory is home to thousands of plants and flowers that are carefully labeled. You can self-guide and pace yourself through this beautiful community, but be prepared to stop your child or children from picking the plants!
