Missouri Botanical Gardens

This weekend we took the kids to the MO Botanical Gardens. It doesn't sound like much fun for kids, but we had a great time. There were of course every kind of plant you can imagine, but the kids didn't care about that, surprise... However, there was also a childrens garden that had all kinds of things for the kids to play on. There were rope bridges, caves, giant beehives, big wood forts, slides, fountains, etc. There was also a dinosaur exhibit. It was inside a large dome that was supposed to be a rain forest. They had life size dinosaurs, with nests and eggs. The kids enjoyed that as well. The Japanese Garden was another place we were interested in visiting, of course. They had the biggest koi fish I have ever seen. The kids loved feeding the fish, in fact they didn't want to leave. Overall it was a great day, and what would have normally cost us $48 was FREE because we are St. Louis County residents! Love it!
