Huntsville Botanical Garden

Opened in 1988, the expansive Huntsville Botanical Garden provides a striking contrast to the adjoining U.S. Space & Rocket Center and Redstone Arsenal, the historic testing site for the nation's rockets.

Flowing through more than 100 acres of woodlands, these gardens include the National Trillium Collection among more than a dozen themed spaces ideal for family exploration.

Among these, their Children's Garden is one of the most creative and immersive that we've ever encountered. Families should definitely put this garden on their list.
