Green Bay Botanical Gardens: Gertrude B. Nielson Children's Garden
Opened in 1996, the Green Bay Botanical Gardens in Green Bay, Wisconsin, contain 47 acres of gardens and natural areas that showcase Wisconsin's seasonal beauty. Within these forty-seven acres is the Gertrude B. Nielson Children's Garden. It covers only a half an acre, but there are so many neat things for kids to do. Some of the fun features include a tree house, a slide, a vine maze, a re-circulating pond, and a giant sundial.
There are seven gardens within the children's garden where kids can explore natural wonders. These include the Einstein Garden, Peter Rabbit Garden, sensory Garden, and Frog Bridge.
The gardens are open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission is $7.00 per adult and $2.00 per child.

DeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteTo instil the beauty of nature within those gardens to dazzle the children of all ages, is a wonder to behold. And a reason to visit Green Bay! :)
A good weekend to you.
