San Francisco Botanical Garden

Enjoy a moment of tranquility in this fantastic garden.

This unique garden has plants and flowers from South Africa, Australia, California, the Mediterranean region, and more. Visitors who come to this garden may feel as if they have been transported to a different place due to the wide variety of plant life here. There is a big meadow area, a fountain plaza, a succulent garden, and a moon-viewing garden.

There are activities available for children of all ages throughout the year. Look for the dedicated garden area catered towards kids to play and learn more about nature. They can search for different species of bugs, and enjoy the fun activities as they explore this garden. This is a great place to come and embrace a moment away from the city’s hustle and bustle. 

If you love walking around botanical gardens, this is a must-see attraction. It is located within the Golden Gate Park, right off of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. A picnic area just West of the garden is the perfect spot to sit and have lunch outside. There is plenty of space to play frisbee or soccer here too. Enjoy a laid back afternoon at the San Francisco Botanical Garden and get a breath of fresh air.
