6. Missouri Botanical Garden

The locals know the Missouri Botanical Garden as Shaw's Garden. This magnificent spot features North America's largest traditional Japanese garden, a Victorian garden (with walk-through maze), the William T. Kemper Center for Home Gardening, and the Climatron Complex, an award-winning geodesic dome and rainforest conservatory. The structure was built to simulate seven different climates and houses rare tropical plants and flowers, towering palm trees, and beautiful streams and waterfalls.   (© 10Best)

Whatever you do, don't miss the Missouri Botanical Garden, the oldest continuously operating garden in the country, and considered one of the top three in the world. You'll love exploring the Japanese garden and the geodesic dome greenhouse that shelters a rain forest, waterfalls, and hundreds of rare plants. (from Southern Living)

Beautiful Place. A beautiful garden that always has something in full bloom. The children's area is great fun and feeding the carp at the Japanese Garden is entertaining for the children. Shaw's house is interesting and the maze fun to do.
