Included with Zoo admission, the Gardens include: a glass-enclosed conservatory; 25 individually designed outdoor garden areas, including a wedding garden for ceremonies and receptions; numerous artistic fountains and sculptures; 1.5 miles of winding paths and walkways; and dramatic views of the riverfront and city skyline.
