mordecai children's garden

The Children’s Garden offers a place to play, explore and discover. Because the natural environment constantly changes, no two visits in this magical 3-acre oasis will be alike.

While exploring the Children’s Garden, young naturalists will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn unique characteristics of plants living in the Rooftop Alpine Garden
  • Discover how plants and animals live together on Marmot Mountain
  • Race pinecones down Springmelt Stream
  • Hunt for bugs in the Glorious Grasslands and observe aquatic life at Pipsqueak Pond
  • Enjoy a story and pretend to be a favorite character on Sagebrush Stage
