Experience a Missouri adventure in our garden of fun for all ages!

The Children's Garden is a perfect place to play, laugh, and learn while enjoying nature all around you. Climb into a treehouse, pilot a Mississippi riverboat, visit an old-fashioned general store, bounce across bridges, build dams, explore caves, and more! The splash pad in the Children's Garden turns on when it hits 70 degrees to help keep kids and their families cool.

Adventure Awaits!
