Tips from locals
Beautiful dome with a variety of plants to learn about and some exterior gardens to explore. Frequent wedding venue. Delicious clean eating restaurant onsite.
During the winter, the Botanical Garden is a small refuge. And they have free parking. It's a great starting point to get out and walk south along the Des Moines river. Lots of fun sights to see as you walk towards downtown.
Beautifully maintained gardens surround this old school bio dome filled with lush plants.
