Unplugging and unwinding can be a great way to recharge and refresh your mind. Check out the Fort Worth Botanic Garden if you're looking for a beautiful place to stroll. This stunning 120-acre campus is home to over 2,500 species of plants, including impressive rose, perennial, and Japanese gardens. Whether you're a plant enthusiast or enjoy being surrounded by natural beauty, there's something for everyone. From a tropical conservatory to a forest boardwalk and a water conservation garden, each of the twenty-three specialty gardens offers a unique experience. View the Japanese Garden, which features koi-filled pools, landscaped hillsides, crafted stonework, and dramatic waterfalls. And, of course, no visit to the Garden would be complete without a stop at the iconic and historic Rose Garden, where you can take in the sights and scents of colorful rose beds cascading down a terraced ramp.
