We have only been there twice and have never explored the whole Gardens.
This time we did with our cousins Misty, Owen, and Cole.
We went to the kids area right when they opened, which I knew to do because moms with young children is who really takes advantage of the free day and it gets very busy. The kids got to climb in the tree house, build with big blocks, make music, go through the alphabet garden, but their favorite was building and playing in the area with sand, dirt and water. Too many mother's dismay this area was a favorite for many of the kids. In this area was something I found really neat. There were metal poles in a square to make a house. Then there were long pieces of lightweight wood (2 by four style) that could be put between the poles to create walls. There were also shorter pieces of wood so you could make windows and doors. I would love to see this at preschools.
We beat the crowd but they started to catch up with us and it got quite busy, so we moved on to explore the rest of the gardens, which we have never done. I am so glad we did. The boys had a great time and we barely ran into any other people. We hiked up a little hill and saw a waterfall, visited a neat Bamboo "forest" and used our bamboo sticks as pretend fishing poles in a pond. The 4 boys had a great time together!
