A winter visit to the Myriad botanical gardens


We arrived and parked at 1:11 p.m.; do not forget money for the parking meters just in case.

I was afraid of not being able to find close parking since it was cold the day we visited. 
It was great because we were able to find plenty of parking spaces close to the Myriad Botanical Gardens.

I wanted to get my little one out the house but since it’s February when I am writing this post and visited this downtown Oklahoma City attraction; I totally recommend visiting Spring and Summer months. That way you can see how beautiful this place is when the flowers are really blooming!

Often times I see fun events being held at the Myriad Botancial Gardens so I made sure to follow them on social media as well.

I have seen people take professional photographs here such as for engagements or senior photos. Their website can explain costs for things such as that or be sure to call beforehand as things may change since I visited. 

Walking inside on the crystal bridge (pictured below) will probably be your children’s favorite part of visiting. I’ll admit;we are done in under 30 minutes inside the crystal bridge. Outside is great for a nice walk;but sometimes I want to skip playgrounds or museums and do things like this to get out the house.

Visiting in the summer is so nice to see the gardens or let your children play at the splash pad or carousel. There’s always ducks and fish to see outside too.

This is outside of the crystal bridge. There’s an outdoor ice skating rink,dog park and restaurants right next to the Myriad Botanical Gardens. You can walk right over!
