Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

In a destination that averages over 300 inches of snow a year, visitors probably wouldn’t expect to be able to visit gardens year-round, but that’s exactly what travelers to Vail can do. Betty Ford Alpine Gardens has five distinctive gardens to peruse – Children’s Garden, Schoolhouse Garden, Mountain Perennial Garden, Meditation Garden, and Alpine Rock Garden. There is also an amphitheater, museum and gift shop, and education center. There are public and private tours of the gardens during summer and guided and self-guided winter snowshoe tours during winter. The education center has a state-of-the-art alpine house, a pollinator garden, and a rooftop terrace.
