Seriously, this is my favorite place in Denver. I live in Capitol Hill and it's great that I can easily walk here whenever I want.

We got a Friends and Family membership (around $100) that has more than paid for itself. It lets in me, my SO, and 4 other people at a time, EVERY TIME. We also have a key-fob and can go in through the Cheesman Park gate. It is so convenient.

The gardens are beautiful and highlight some of the amazing plants that are native to this region. Every garden is well maintained and there is always someone available to tell you more if you are interested. There are two great cafes on site (though one is only open during the warmer seasons).

They always have something cool going on and their tour guides are well-informed and very friendly.

I think it's definitely worth a trip (or twenty).
