The garden has numerous walking and biking trails that wind through the diverse landscapes, and it also boasts Callaway Brothers Azalea Bowl, Overlook Azalea Garden, Robin Lake Beach(the largest world man-made white, fine sand beach), the Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center with more than 1,000 butterflies belonging to 50 species, two golf courses, TreeTop Adventure Zip Line and Obstacle Course, and the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel.
