Get lost in nature at Greater Des Moines Botanical Center.

The Des Moines Botanical Garden is an excellent way to experience the beauty of nature – no matter the weather! This living museum’s lush indoor and outdoor gardens are a treat for everyone. Driving through downtown Des Moines, you've undoubtedly noticed the gardens' distinctive geodesic dome.

And you won't be sorry if you pay us a visit! Whether you like plants or not, you'll enjoy the beauty of the gardens no matter what time of year it is. The conservatory houses an international collection of lush, tropical plants and cacti. You can walk through the lovely palms and flowering plants. And don't forget to visit the waterfall to see the koi fish.

The picturesque outdoor gardens feature a diverse array of native plants and trees set in expert garden designs. There's something for everyone here, complete with riverfront views. A savanna, water garden, and rose garden are among the notable gardens. After you’ve toured the gardens, stop in at the Trellis Cafe for a bit to eat.
