Missouri Botanical Garden
4344 Shaw Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63110
(314) 577-9400
What started as a 10-acre garden near Henry Shaw's country home has now become 79 acres of beauty in the heart of the city. Opened to the public in 1859, Missouri Botanical Garden houses myriad species of plants, trees and flowers. Inside the Climatron, the first geodesic dome to be used as a conservatory, visitors can observe more than 2,800 tropical plants. Think the kids won't be interested in this botanist's bonanza? Think again: The garden also has a maze for young and old to navigate through as well as a children's garden with plenty to climb on and explore. Beyond the day-to-day activities, Missouri Botanical Garden also hosts festivals throughout the year, including the popular Whitaker Music Festival and the Japanese Festival.
