This is a very small facility but it is a great place to relax. We often stop in on a weekend when we're getting overwhelmed with running around doing errands. We stop in to recharge and it happens immediately. Often you will have the place to yourself. They also have butterflies in one of the rooms. Beautiful orchid display too. More

Steamboat is kind to beginners and intermediates with plenty of groomed trails. With 42% of the trails dedicated to intermediates this vast mountain should have enough terrain to please an intermediate skier with new cruisers for days. Beginners will not have to venture far for their runs as there are plenty at the base of the mountain with eight short... More

I had not been to the gardens before. We were there for a wedding. The next day, I went to the Botanical Gardens to spend some time. Now I know why my nephew says it's so nice to go and sit and think. Beautiful gardens. Beautiful scenery outdoors. You find this little gem in the middle of no where and... More

I can see where it would be great for kids but for someone wanting to know more about plants in Western Colorado its pretty much a bust and while I'm always glad to support worthy causes not really worth the price of admission. Very small. Pretty good cactus garden but thats about it. No butterflies when we were there, didn't... More

They have gorgeous plants and I was pleasantly surprised by the cute castle and play area for the kids! They also have this thing called Watson Island. It's, I guess theirs but, behind the gardens. On the island, my family was able to walk right next to the river. It was so much fun! They even let us have our... More

western colorado botanical gardens is just small enough to keep an eye on the kids! it actually enabled my wife and i to personalize the experience that much more with our children, by staying close to the trails and each other. we were all able to enjoy the many features of the gardens! More

I live in Grand Junction. They have a very small butterfly area with a few fish. It is pretty but tiny. They have a play area that last time was there was pretty dismal. It will be lovely some day but it is developing still. If you have kids dont expect to spend more than an hour since it is... More
