The botanical gardens staff are always making the land that they are stewards of better. We walked in with our two year old one day and one of their big turtles was going for a walk in the visitor center! He had so much fun petting the turtle and playing with it. It's a great outing on a Sunday morning. One of the best things is the butterfly house and the trail to palapa. The people are nice, the price is amazing and it's a fun way to spend a morning.
