Out of my visit to Denver, this was definitely the best place by far. The gardens were outstanding. The space was very well used, and the on-site cafe had great food and smoothies. This is a must see when visiting Denver. There was a giant pool where dragonfly larvae were emerging from the water by the hundreds. A red tailed hawk was hanging out in one of the gardens, totally nonplussed by all the visitors. There was a tropical conservatory which was huge and amazing.

There was a cactus building, the science pyramid was great. It was very informative. The informational postings on the research being done at the gardens was very informative, and it made me appreciate the scientific value of the space.

Love love love these gardens (and I visit a lot of botanic gardens). :)
