The misting boulders are now open. The creek is currently closed. We will update on the website and social media when it opens. Thank you for your patience!
This 2-acre garden is the largest horticulture project ever undertaken by the Conservatory. Featuring numerous unique, interactive experiences celebrating the Ohio landscape, the Children’s Garden will focus on introducing and connecting children to the natural world, as well as renewing that connection for their parents and caregivers. The Children’s Garden will support the Conservatory’s outreach and education mission, promoting active learning for all ages, with an emphasis on health and the natural sciences.
The Children’s Garden is open and included in admission year-round, with the exception of various water features which operate only during the spring and summer seasons.
Educational Programming is a part of the garden experience in the spring and summer seasons, with Learning Themes that change monthly.
The Children’s Garden will remain open if it rains but will be closed in the case of dangerous weather: high winds or lightning.
