"The Perfect Place for a Picnic"

Less formal that the Denver Botanic Gardens in downtown Denver, the Chatfield location has a rural farm setting complete with historic farm buildings, a few animals, working beehives, and plenty of trails to explore and do some wildlife watching.  Our girls loved the children's area, especially the tree house.  It's certainly the perfect place to spend a peaceful day with a picnic lunch!
