TIPS FOR ENJOYING YOUR VISIT TO THE SAN ANTONIO BOTANICAL GARDEN

1. Plan plenty of time for your visit
In addition to wandering around the gorgeous 38-acre garden, admiring the bright colored flowers and lush foliage, there are plenty of opportunities for kids to play and run so you won’t want to rush.

2. Bring (or buy) a lunch
Pack and bring lunch so you can spend as much time at the Garden as possible. There are all sorts of shady, cozy spots throughout the garden where you can enjoy a family meal. Plus, what child doesn’t love a picnic? If you happen to forget to pack a lunch and you still don’t want your visit to end, never fear. Just stop by the Carriage House Bistro, located at the front of the Garden. Kids’ menu items start at just $4 and include their faves like peanut butter and jelly, pasta, grilled cheese, and scrambled eggs with bacon and toast.

3. Bring quarters to feed the fish and the turtles
Speaking of lunch, fish gotta eat too, right? Near the back of the Garden, in the East Pineywoods section, a picture-perfect pond sits, surrounded by tall pines. The pond is filled with friendly fish and turtles. And just in front of the Log Cabin, there is a fish food dispenser. Pop in a few quarters and let your kids feed the fish and turtles. But, beware: you may never get them to leave this tranquil, fun spot.

4. Bring an extra camera (or two) for your kids to use
The San Antonio Botanical Garden is the perfect spot for kids to practice their photography skills. They can take wide-angle shots of the rolling hills around the Garden, or get close-ups of flowers blooming and butterflies flitting by. Share some photography basics with your kids on the way to the Garden (how to focus, creating compositions, trying different angles and perspectives, photographing plants vs. people) and then give them free reign to photograph whatever their heart desires. They’ll bring home fond memories of their trip and maybe even develop a love for taking pictures too.

5. Wear closed-toe shoes

While there are lots of paved paths throughout the Garden, the path around the pond in the East Texas Pineywood section is covered in a dark mulch. So, if you don’t want to have to scrub little feet when you leave, it’s better to be safe than sorry: wear your tennies!
