Kids can get up close and personal with nature at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens, which is a 38-acre botanical garden that features several collections and exhibit areas, including formal and seasonal display gardens that include a rose garden, a sensory garden, a water-saving garden and a Kumamoto En Japanese Garden.

The gardens feature unusual things to see and do, such as the futuristic Lucile Halsell Conservatory features an underground through a tunnel of soil into the Palm House, which is cut deep into the earth, and the 11-acre Texas Native Trail.

Visitors to the gardens can enjoy guided tours, as well as special bird-watching walks and a range of lectures, talks, and other garden-related events.
