Thursday evenings in October: BOOtanical Experience sponsored by Ferguson Subaru

Throw on your favorite costume and join us Thursday evenings in October as the Driskill Children’s Discovery Garden transforms into an enchanting garden for a BOOtanical Experience!  Families can stroll through the decorated pathways to visit BOOtanical booths celebrating the Monarch Butterfly with new games and loads of treats! Each week we will also have costumed characters greeting and taking photos with BOOtanical guests. See schedule below. 

With a ticket to BOOtanical, each child gets a wristband and bag for carrying their prizes.  Each child participating in BOOtanical will need a BOOtanical ticket in addition to a regular admission ticket.  BOOtanical Tickets are $10/child (0-18) for Garden members; $12/child for non-members. 

Add-on your BOOtanical ticket when purchasing admission ticket, choose date and 5pm entry time window. Advance tickets are recommended to avoid lines.
