Myriad Botanical Gardens, Oklahoma City

The place was beautiful - we just came at a time when they decided to do an update on the grounds. The big section closed off, and working on it. We still were able to visit a lot of the beautiful flowers and trees. So peaceful here, even though, it was a windy day so, we didn't stay too long. They also have artwork for sale in the office. Don't forget to donate as they need this to keep up the grounds.

What a beautiful place to take a stroll and enjoy some time with your loved ones. There are plenty of chairs and benches all around the park area to sit down and have picnics or relax. The enclosed Children's area with the splash pad is particularly fun and super cute. There's a merry go round next to the Children's okay are as well. When we went, the Crystal Bridge Conservatory was closed for construction so we didn't get to see any of it. However, there was plenty to explore and enjoy around the botanical gardens. Tips: it seems the homeless come bathe and cool down at the splash pad, though they didn't seem threatening and kept their distance from the kids, that's something to look out for.

Every time we go it looks absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait until they are finished renovating. It is a great place to take the family or go by yourself to go for a walk through some truly beautiful Gardens. The location is easy to get to and the parking is fair priced. There are also electric scooters and bikes available to ride in the area. There is a children’s area and during the summer there’s also a waterpark. The merry go round and snack shack or in that same area.

Even though the green house is under construction and reopening by Fall 2022, the rest of the garden is still a fantastic space for strolls. There are sufficient shaded areas with benches if you are needing to simply sit and enjoy the greenery surrounding you. There are a couple of splash pads for young and old to cool off in the heat of summer. The streetcar stop is also nearby if you want a ride to Midtown or Bricktown. Tickets can be bought at a kiosk ($1-$3 per adult).

Such an amazing place. Perfect place to bring family if they’re visiting from out of town and enjoy the outdoors. Park was absolutely stunning and also a great place to work out if you live in Oklahoma City and wanted to run up some stairs or just have some views during your run. Right in the heart of downtown.
