Reviews
Really cool plants! The tropical indoor area features lots of familiar edibles and ornamentals; it's awesome even if you're there in the winter. When you go outside you can appreciate how much work goes into maintenance and design. Really good for engaging children, but suitable for adults if they have a basic plant knowledge. Definitely worth my $6! Discaimer: I'm a plant nerd.
It's boring .. Nothing to do here unless you have kids
