Denver Botanic Gardens

Explore an urban oasis at the 24-acre Denver Botanic Gardens. Just steps from downtown, nature unfolds here in unforgettable ways. Plant specimens from the plains to the desert and tundra showcase garden designs that thrive in Colorado’s semi-arid climate. The Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory houses thousands of tropical plants in a lush and balmy environment. A 3-acre children’s garden sits atop the parking structure and provides hands-on plant-based learning and play for kids. And art exhibitions are presented throughout the year.

General Admission to York Street Gardens — Entry includes the indoor and outdoor gardens, the Freyer - Newman Center galleries, and films in the Sturm Family Auditorium.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Educator Discounts? Please offer educator discounts. Yes, the pass is already discounted. However, as teachers, while we bring groups often to cultural outings, our incomes often are paltry at best. That said, we need to see cultural exhibits to connect them to curriculum and make them a worthwhile field trip for often 25+ students. Seems the ROI for free or discounted passes would be worth the initial lost revenue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good deal for week long denver tour. We got the 5 attractions city pass. We chose Day 1: zoo, Day 2: children's museum, aqarium Day 3: nature and science museum Day 4: colorado history center Children loved day 3 the most followed by day 2 (aquarium better than museum) followed by day 4 and finally day 1. Zoo was disliked because of the summer heat. You may want to pick and choose from other attractions (you pick 5 of 8) but these 5 seem the best for most kids ages 5 to 7. The pass is great value for money, more than 50% savings! Very good deal for a week long denver tour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value! I bought CityPASS tickets for my trip and it was a seamless experience. It definitely saves you money and is easily used for entry into the listed attractions. Specifically, I used my CityPASS tickets to enter the Denver Art Museum, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and the Denver Botanic Garden. You do not need a reservation for any of these attractions. I just went to the front desk for all of these locations and they scanned us in.
