★★★★★ShawnClean air and best having overcast skies. The garden is cool. The Bells of Ireland have nothing correlated with a chron-based coordinate graphic organizer of light at a non-varying velocity/speed, until you see the leaves.
★★★★★Kathryn GatesA magical nature wonderland right in the middle of Kansas City. An oasis and place to explore for people of all ages. Recharge your batteries with a stroll throught the property. Bring a picnic to enjoy on one of the many benches or in the shelter house. Stay for a brief time or all day. You will enjoy every minute!
★★★★★Paula GermanThe grounds are beautiful. A great place for a stroll. They offer children's activities. Check out their calendar. There's some great things happening here.
★★★★★Nevin MarshallThis is really a gem wish I had found out about it earlier well worth the visit plan on coming back and bringing my grandkids here
★★★★★Jerree HicksThis is nature within a city. Inside are a few reptiles, a water feature, and sometimes exhibits. This is a wonderful inviting place to learn. Everyone who works here is kind and helpful. I have taken several craft classes here and the teacher really makes it fun.
