Visit the Missouri Botanical Garden

Founded in 1859, the Missouri Botanical Garden is the nation's oldest botanical garden in continuous operation and a National Historic Landmark. The Garden is a center for botanical research and science education, as well as an oasis in the city of St. Louis. The Garden offers 79 acres of beautiful horticultural display, including a 14-acre Japanese strolling garden, historic architecture, and one of the world's largest collections of rare and endangered flora.

For over 158 years, the Garden has been an oasis in the city, a place of beauty and family fun—and also a center for education, science, and conservation. Aside from the Biblical, Ottoman, and Japanese gardens, there is also a beautiful geodesic dome conservatory with stunning statues and sculptures dotted throughout. While the garden's exquisite horticultural displays are a treat for the senses, it also hosts cultural events, festivals, and concerts throughout the year.
