The Missouri Botanical Garden is a gorgeous botanical garden established in 1859. Inside, you will find many examples of garden types, like a Bavarian garden, a Japanese garden, a Chinese garden, and more.

Tower Grove House, founder Henry Shaw’s restored country residence, was built in 1849 in the Italianate style. The house operates seasonally and keeps different hours from the garden; check access before visiting. The gardens and Climatron were a wonderful break for me, and I would allow at least half a day for an unhurried visit.

Additional places to visit in the gardens are the Garden's museum and the Climatron – an indoor tropical climate structure with a beautiful garden inside.

I genuinely recommend visiting the Botanical gardens. You can easily spend half a day here.
