Review:
Covering approximately 14 acres in downtown Des Moines, the Greater Des Moines Botanical Center is a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. The center offers both indoor and outdoor gardens for visitors to explore; the outdoor gardens celebrate the beautiful plant life native to the Midwest, while the geodesic dome conservatory is home to a wonderful collection of exotic tropical plants. Visitors are welcome to join the guided tours that are held every Saturday and Sunday morning, but weekday tours can be arranged in advance for groups of more than 10 people.
