Myriad Botanical Gardens

A beautiful and peaceful oasis in the heart of downtown OKC. The landscaping was well maintained throughout. We especially liked the multiple-level walking paths, which provided great views of the gardens and waterfall. Created a truly calming atmosphere. Myriad Botanical Gardens was a wonderful place to walk, unwind, or spend time with family. Definitely worth a stop.

Myriad Botanical Gardens is absolutely breathtaking. From the moment you step onto the grounds, you’re surrounded by the kind of nature that makes you forget you’re right in the middle of the city. Every path, every plant, every little corner feels like it was designed to slow you down and let you breathe for a second. The outdoor gardens are stunning on their own, but the real showstopper is the light-up Crystal Bridge. When it’s lit, it honestly looks magical—like something out of a movie. The colors, the reflections on the water, the way it glows from every angle… it’s even more gorgeous in person than any picture can show. There’s so much to explore here, and every area has its own vibe. One minute you’re walking across peaceful bridges over the water, the next you’re surrounded by lush greenery, bright flowers, and little hidden spots that make you want to stop and just soak it in. The whole walk is incredibly peaceful and relaxing—perfect for a date, a solo reset, or just a slow day outside with family. Whether you’re a plant lover, a photographer, or someone who just needs a calm place to wander, this garden truly has it all. It’s easily one of the most beautiful and refreshing places to visit. Highly recommend taking your time here… it’s stunning from start to finish.

Lovely, tranquil place. Great setup for holidays with a poinsettia tree! Lot of variety of flora is on display on different levels and a tiny waterfall. It’s a great place to spend time indoors with friends / family. The tickets are a bit of an overkill, and pricier than other botanical gardens. A nice pond outside and a carousel.

The Myriad Botanical Gardens is an interesting one compared to other botanical gardens I’ve been to before. The outside area is open to the public and free. The indoor area is also open to the public but $10.50/adult. Taking a look at it from the outside it is clear that it is not that big. It looks like 30 minutes would be ample time to explore the whole thing. I thought that the beautifully maintained outdoor area that surrounds the indoor area was enough for me. I probably walked around the perimeter for about 20-25 minutes at a leisurely pace. If you have time to kill and really like botany, paying the entry fee may be worth it for you. The nice woman at the welcome center did say they have indigenous plants there as well as a waterfall.

My visit to the Myriad Botanical Gardens in Oklahoma City was nothing short of breathtaking. The moment I stepped into the Crystal Bridge Conservatory, I was transported into a serene oasis filled with lush greenery, exotic plants, and calming energy. The architecture itself is stunning glass and light working together to create a peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere. I loved how every corner offered something unique from the vibrant tropical plants to the peaceful seating areas that invite you to slow down and soak in nature’s beauty. The indoor garden felt both intimate and expansive, and the temperature-controlled space made it perfect for exploring comfortably. It’s a perfect spot for reflection, a quiet date, or even a solo moment of peace. Whether you’re a nature lover, photographer, or just someone who appreciates beauty and calm, the Myriad Botanical Gardens is a must-visit in Oklahoma City. ✨ Highlight: Sitting among the greenery, surrounded by sunlight streaming through the glass dome—it felt like a moment of peace and renewal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A gem inside of downtown. Amazing grounds to walk, along with water features. Go inside the gardens for a great show. So much larger inside than you'd imagine with multiple levels. I usually walk through these quickly and nod, with a few "that's pretty" comments. This place is different. So many plants I've never actually seen before, specifically tropical food plants and cool facts about them. I accidentally learned a ton and spent over an hour just inside. Well worth the $10.

Beautiful garden! Lots of different plants, and had a great time. The garden has a parrot in it, and they seem very sad.:( Being someone who grew up with birds, I hope that Muffin can have a better habitat in the future.

The plants are so pretty in the Botanical Gardens building as well as outside in the surrounding area. If you don't do well in the heat, you might not be able to go to the second floor. I asked someone who works there and she said it is usually about 120° up there. Well worth looking at though if you can stand the heat. Very beautiful place!!

Such a lovely botanical garden. I went on a hot day in August. The building is pretty warm and humid, for all the plants. I wish I could have gone in the middle of winter! This place would be amazing to escape to, in the middle of the cold weather. I loved the far end with all the cacti and succulents. There are so many beautiful specimens. The more "tropical" plants up the entry side, are gorgeous too. The labels are nice. The gift shop is nice. If I lived here, I'd be a member and visit often! If you ever visit OKC, don't miss this.

Check out the Myriad gardens when you're downtown. Both inside at the Crystal Bridge and out, you'll be amazed. Ride MO's Carousel near the children's garden or walk check out the weekly events like Zumba or yoga. The Myriad Gardens has something for everyone!

The flowers are really beautiful and the gardens are well taken care of. It's a great spot to walk around, enjoy nature, and clear your head. I also like doing yoga here when it's available! ‍

Great place! I love walking inside the garden, very peaceful and educational. Walking inside makes you sweat in the positive sense.

we decided to go to this on a whim and were very pleased! The conservatory was amazing It housed many plants we had not seen before and we've been to quite a few botanical gardens The grounds were also quite beautiful even though it was off season and the fountain features were winterized They did however have it decked out with pumpkins and spookiness for fall we'll catch the fountains next time

While in OKC we went to @myriadgardens a beautiful 15 acre indoor and outdoor botanical garden in downtown OKC. featuring a waterfall, sky bridge, tropical garden section, succulent/cactus section, outdoor koi pond, a splash pad and playground for kids. definitely one of the highlights of the city.

I was visiting OKC to visit family and I knew I wanted to visit this place, as I love botanical gardens. I didn't go inside, but was glad to see the outside was free. It was a lovely place to take my mom and we had wonderful weather. The grounds were lovely, attracting plenty of wild life. We saw cute little ducks, a coot, koi, and turtles. I highly recommend this visit!

The gift shop is well stocked, though a bit pricy. The gardens are beautiful and the overhead walkway provided a great view. Not my favorite botanical gardens, but worth a stop. It was orchid week, which was so pretty.

Beautiful place to hang out in OKC! It is a must! There are so many plants and beautiful flowers blooming! There is a price to pay to go inside, but it's worth it! You can explore the whole thing and it takes about 2 hours. Very cool and there's street parking!

Went to the pumpkin event on a whim and if you have small kids they are going to have an absolute blast. Wife and I, as DINKS, still had a great time though, never been to the botanical gardens and glad to have gone. Wife is a huge plant person, but even if you are not, such a cool place. Happy to support a beautiful landmark. The pumpkin event... in the pictures you will see a stand with kettle corn and lemonade... lemonade is fine, but carry home as much of that kettle corn as you can carry. So legit. Also love supporting local vendors and picked up a Carmel apple pie because well... obviously. Again, if you have small kids, such a cheap little outing they will enjoy and some neat snacks you can carry home as well.

Huge greenhouse filled with several lush green exotic plants, flowers, trees and shrubs! Depending on the season, you can catch some magnificent blooms. There's also an outdoor area that has a huge playground, park, and maze! Great for families, locals, tourists - anyone and everyone, of any age! There's even a little (gnome?) house that has musical floor tiles! Check out the garden & park - can you find your way out of the garden maze, or play out a tune in the tiny house?!

There is a parrot locked in a very small cage in a conservatory. The temperature in the greenhouse is extremely high in summer, with only a regular mini fan blowing at the cage. The parrot is so hot that its beak is constantly open, and its wings are slightly spread to dissipate heat. It doesn't want to move at all and looks very pitiful. The lonely parrot has no companions at all. The plants are well cared for, and the entire garden is very beautiful, reflecting the staff's dedication. However, I hope they can provide the parrot with a larger, cooler living environment in the summer.

Beautiful sites inside and out. I really appreciated the air conditioned kids learning room inside the building. The room had books and hands on activity centers for little ones. There's also a fun kids garden outside.

Very beautiful loved every moment. My family and I had a great time. I like all that there is to offer for kids as well, my son enjoyed playing in the playground and splash pad.

Shamrock event was great. Of course they turn the water green. You can really still see the fish and turtles in the water. I'm always nervous seeing children around the edge of water. I know it would change looks but a little short concrete edging would be safer. Huge crowd sitting on grass watching the dancers. Very entertaining. They did have a few vendors selling items. We found a great kids book one and purchased 4 got 1 free. Food and drink lines were long. I had grabbed a bottle of water to take with us, So we were good. Lots of flowers if you walk the paths. Tulips were blooming already so I hope they will still be pretty for the Tulip festival end of month. Good photo places! Love the water fall ! Kids always love the play area and there are flowers over there also. Who ever thought of a big covered hill to climb and play ! Great idea, room for several kids at once. The carousel was in action too. I was wondering if during week or just weekends. I would love to come back when not so crowded during week with grandkids. But you would for sure pay for parking then. Today we lucked out as a car was pulling out along street. Every event I have ever been too here has been nice. Great family area in the middle of OKC.

Amazing time at the pumpkintown!!!! Lots of fun for kids and adults!!! Beautiful gardens, areas for photos!!! Free carousel rides!!! Yummy kettle corn not too sweet and fresh squeezed lemonade was a hit!!! They also had adult beverages if you desire. A couple of food options as well! Loved to see the crafts from local artists as well!!! We had a great day! Parking gets full quick! We paid $10 for convenience

On my way from coast-to-coast, this stop happened after a long day driving - where I literally dodged tires in the middle of the highway that blew off a truck due to crazy/strong winds, this stop was serenity. A calm around the storm. Next morning was rain like I had never seen before. First time in my life I pulled over and waited out a storm - only to glimpse a tornado near Owasso. Mad respect to every Oklahoma resident for the nonsense you have to deal with. Apologies on the sidetrack - The Myriad Botanical Gardens - early April - fantastic. The ducks in the pond - playful. The birds in the trees singing songs and made up stories on film as I acted out bird conversations. All welcome additions around the madness. The pictures speak for themselves. Look at em.

Pumpkinville 2023 Myriad Gardens experience: We love exploring October's festive interactive Pumpkinville experience at Myriad Gardens. The 2023 experience was colorful, full of family fun and fall photo ops. We went on a weekend during the day and it was packed! In the future we'll try to remember to come explore on a weekday to hopefully have a little less bustle and fewer lines for some of the more popular photo spots. We certainly got our money's worth and it feels like a bargain for those who want to share in the full fall experience. Just a note, purchasing a ticket for Pumpkinville will get you a ton of pumpkin fun, but doesn't get you into the Crystal Bridge, those tickets are a separate purchase. Way to go, team Myriad Gardens! Cheers to spreading a bit of fall cheer in OKC. We can't wait to for next year's Pumpkinville experience! November 2023

Well worth the visit if you're considering this garden of distinction. Easily accessible from all downtown OKC hotels. A great way to spend an afternoon. If you're here in the winter, your skin will thank you for the tropical level humidity inside.

It is so beautiful and I love this is a year round experience. This was my second time but first after the remodel. It was my friends first time. It is such a nice space and I would go back over and over.

This was a great way to spend some time in Oklahoma for cheap. The gardens themselves are in a good location and easily accessible from any part of the city. The outside gardens are free which was super nice. They have a beautiful pond and pretty flowers. There is an awesome children's garden with a little brook, statues, a seesaw, playground, big tree swing, and more. Also, there was a huge splash pad for the kids to run through, so make sure you bring swimsuits. My daughter loved the kids' activities and keep in mind all of this is free. The only portion you pay for is the Crystal Bridge which is $10 per person. While the bridge was beautiful from the outside and the inside, I thought it was rather small and not worth the $10. However, if you do decide to try it out, the view is pretty. There are stairs on either side of the bridge with elevators as well. The pond was very pretty and the waterfall was nice as well. While I wouldn't pay for it again, there wasn't anything wrong. I would definitely check out the free portion of the gardens though. These were very nice, fun, and a great way to spend an afternoon.

Decided to take alittle time today and check out the new and improved Botanical Gardens! I will admit that it's been an extremely long time since I've toured the gardens and today it's free to the public, so you know it's crowded! Upon entering you are greeted by the wonderful ladies at the front selling discounted memberships. I received a paper to do a scavenger hunt and I proceeded to the opening of the gardens. Immediately, I felt the humidity, I wasn't prepared for the warmth. I in fact took my jacket off but still had a sweatshirt on and felt uncomfortable. I walked halfway through and thought I'm not ready for this type of tropical weather. It's cold outside, dare I say maybe low 50's and I want to go outside. Next time I will come with a bag to put jacket and sweater to walk comfortably through the exhibit. Secondly, I will plan a day when the crowds are small to nothing to enjoy the space fully.

Good place to take pictures, have a date, to for a walk or take kids. The kids park is awesome. There is fish in the pond, lots of ducks, some turtles and sometimes geese Lots of great pathways to walk The gardens itself is great. Lots of cool plants and lots to learn about

Absolutely love myriad gardens. There are so many events that happen here that are free. The grounds are beautiful, well kept and relaxing to be in. I also enjoy going inside and seeing all of the flora that is taken care of. I like the little gift shop as well they always have interesting books and trinkets.

So glad we made this our first stop on our super short visit in Oklahoma City! Adult admission was $10 per person and totally worth it. While it's on the smaller side, it is super pretty inside! You can check out a good variety of plants and get some really cool vantage points. There is also a small gift shop inside with some cute items. Outside you can always walk around the grounds which are pretty too. Overall we were so glad we came!

Enjoyed our visit here. Walked along the trails. Very serene. It wasn't too hot. Dog friendly

We didn't purchase the tickets to see the garden. There is little Shops inside along with personal art work for sale There is also a children park outside.

Stopped by to check out the tulip fest. Lots of varieties but way too many people for me. Wandered around and checked things. Reasonable pricing. Was nice to get out and about. The parking is really tight so if you happen to find a spot grab it.

This area is very uniquely done. Lots of beautiful outdoor areas are available for the whole family. To include an outdoor concert area. The Crystal Bridge Conservatory (admission required) is in the center of the garden. It's a great way to spend some time outdoors!

I spent my first weekend in OKC and while searching online for fun things to do, came across this botanical garden that happened to be having a tulip festival! They are one of my favorite flowers so I knew I had to make it over there. To walk around the festival and view the tulips, it was completely free! The area is also dog friendly, we saw many sweet puppers along our stroll. The food trucks during the festival provided a lot of great selection. Even alcohol for those interested! We did not go into the crystal bridge section today due to the crowd, but it seemed very popular and would suggest it if you have the time. I'm hoping I can come back and see it during a less populated time.

First time visiting since the renovation! It's absolutely beautiful and a nature oasis. Highly recommend visiting and bringing your whole family. It was toasty when we visited (2/17/2023) but we saw bananas and pineapples growing! So cool!

I had a great time at the botanical garden, they have beautiful fountains , plants of all kinds , and they have little things that you can sniff , some have coffee , vanilla , cinnamon, and flowers inside and its is very nice for kids to have a fun time guessing what it is . Outside they have a beautiful park for kids with lots to do including a maze , hidden alleys of vegetation to explore. I recommend you to take your shoes off and ground , sit down at the sadly cut down tree seats and just have a relaxing time . Perfect place for a picnic . There is a fee to get in the botanical garden under 12$ not bad at all . There are ducks a parrot and tons of fish .

This place was beautiful and well managed. The different varieties of plants was so amazing to see. highly recommend stopping here! The ponds outside with the fish and ducks was a bonus! Wish there was more flowers that was bloomed to see. Loves the water fall great spot for Instagram pics. If you coming to Oklahoma this one is a must see. Only costs 11 dollars well worth it.

PLEASE PUT A WARNING OF THE HEAT ON YOUR WEBSITE!!! I was born, raised and still currently reside in south Florida and I almost passed out on the 3rd floor. My mother and I could not breathe. DRESS FOR TROPICAL WEATHER PEOPLE! Other than that it was absolutely beautiful inside. I enjoyed the interactive exhibits. Even the one that didn't smell great :P Gift shop is adorable and I was extremely ecstatic to find the uncommon rose rock. Next time I'll be sure to wear my hair up, a tank/crop top and shorts! :)

Beautiful area to walk downtown with the pups! One of the best things we saw on our OKC trip. You have to find your own parking downtown, and I paid $1.00 to park and walk for 15 minutes - which was just enough in OKC summer heat and to walk the entire outdoors area.

Love the remodel! More beautiful plants and a few older ones that were bought back. Every direction you look is something different and each plant has a marker telling about the plant. I would highly recommend visiting. Love the gift shop also. Some unique items locally made.

We were there during their spring tulip festival. It was a nice way to spend a little over an hour. There were lots of lovely plants to see and the shop had a decent selection of plant related decor.

I went here a month ago with my wife and we absolutely loved it!! Had a wide-variety of plants and enjoyed the scenic views and atmosphere. It felt like we were going to the biomes themselves. Well worth the visit when going to Oklahoma City!

This place is absolutely gorgeous and it feels never ending. If you have appreciation for nature you can spend all day long in here. There's so much to see, smell and learn. They have interesting facts about the plants all along the way and the place is massive. Once you're done with the inside there's a huge koi fish pond, playgrounds and picnic areas, the list goes on. You could spend a whole entire day on this block and go home slumped and ready for bed. I felt so calm and connected im botanical gardens. It was a very soothing energy inside and it's also very quiet which makes it feel peaceful. 2 adults and 1 kid cost us $28, very well worth it in my opinion, especially considering all the things around that are offered for free. This would be perfect for any type of date, play time with kids or honestly for just killing time or get your mind off things. I'm very glad we have this in the OKC community and I'm glad they keep it nice and clean as well.

Great place for photos. Several other people in the exhibit at the same time. Lots of neat flowers and botanicals. Front desk staff was super friendly. Cost was $17 + for 2 adults Only bummer was the elevator was out...but I didn't mind taking the stairs. (Calorie burner) Bathrooms had changing station - awesomeness!!! Very clean and picked up rain forest. Staff was friendly! Keep up the good work. Respectfully, Bryan Moore, Oklahoma

*Disclaimer*: if you have issues wearing a mask during COVID-19, Myriad is not for you. The air is dense, warm, and a little hard to breathe. Myriad is a peaceful and quaint place, but beware it can get a bit busy. During my visit in OKC, I wanted to check out what all the city had to offer and the botanical garden felt like a given. The building and shape of the garden is beautiful. Inside, where all the plants are located, it's spherical with an upstairs and downstairs. There's a desert section on one end and tropical plants on the other. To be honest, a lot of these plants I already own as houseplants, but it's always great to see the babies in much bigger forms. After visiting the botanical garden you can go outside to walk a path around the building. It'll take you downstairs where you can watch ducks in the water pass. Super cute touch! At the end of the walk you can watch the show they put on for kids in front of the building (there is a fee) or take them to the epic playground to let some steam off. Definitely check this cute little gem out if you're in the area.

The Myriad Garden greenhouse is beautiful with a variety of different trees, flowers, and cacti growing. It is small and doesn't take long to get through the whole thing. FYI the inside of the greenhouse is pretty hot! Outside of the greenhouse there is still a lot of greenery around the park and even some water creatures that you are able to see.

It was my second time here and I loved it just as much as the first. The first time I came here, it was in the winter time. The garden was lit up for the holidays and they had lots of picture taking opportunities, including one with Santa. I loved all the lights they strung up at that time. This time, I got to experience the place during the day. Totally different vibe and I loved it. The way the light filters in through the greenhouse is just beautiful, and the contrast of the green against white building was very picturesque. Got some great photos here. They have an extensive amount of plants and flowers blooming. Lots of species I haven't seen before. My favorite were the giant palm trees which went almost to the ceiling of the place - makes you wonder how they managed to bring them here and grow them for so long. Beautiful and very affordable place. I think it was only $8-10 to get in and it took us about 45 mins to walk through. Also, easy to find metered street parking. Worth checking out !

Very nice place with plants and stunning looking garden and scenery, it's a great place to stroll and take some nice lovely pictures, it's definitely a must check out if you ever in the OKC area or just passing through, they have a area for seating for certain events like a concert as well.

Gardens in the middle of the city! One full square block of park. If you see old photos of okc you'll be amazed what this has shaped into The large indoor "crystal bridge" is full of exotic flowers, and you can spot lizards all over if you look between the plants. Two stories of explorable area gives you time to kill if you like reading and observing the things Around the park they have events all of the time like yoga in the park, cat video nights, movie nights on the lawn, concerts and dance parties. There is a playground on the sw area of the block. The outdoor amphitheater is great but I wish they'd use it more often

I visited when they had the Tulip festival in April and I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful park and the all the unique plants in the greenhouse. If you're going to go inside please make sure you are dressed for very hot and humid conditions! I do wish the pond they have was more clear, they have huge stunning koi fish that I wish I could see better. Overall, I think the work they are doing is awesome and I would love to visit again.

I was excited to check out the botanical gardens especially the conservatory. When I arrived, I had to loop around to find parking near the gardens. Parking is limited to 2 hours on the street and I paid for 1.5 hours expecting to spend some time exploring. Sadly the conservatory was closed for renovations so I just walked around for a bit but it was too hot so I left. Without the conservatory, there wasn't much to see besides the kids park and the plants. I did go inside the visistors center to check out the exhibit which was cool.. Disappointed that I didn't see anywhere online that stated that the conservatory was closed for renovation s

Love going to the live music when the weather is nice out. They have such a variety of genres, and yummy food trucks.

The myriad gardens are a wonderful piece of the city! They have multiple interactive elements that allow you to smell certain flowers and identify unique species. The tube is incredibly warm so be prepared for strong humidity. One downside was that the elevator was broken, so it was not fully accessible to everyone. If you enjoy looking at different types of plants this is the place for you, but I do not think I need to go back.
