The Missouri Botanical Garden has been a favorite stop on my St. Louis sightseeing list since I was a youngster. I was always impressed with the Climatron (1960) built as a geodesic dome plus the Seiwa-en Japanese garden (1977) which was developed later on. It is also the site of the annual Japan Festival normally held over the Labor Day weekend.
The gardens are probably part of most every local school district's class excursion list. The Missouri Botanical Garden makes for an enjoyable and informative stroll for visitors who enjoy exhibits of both local and exotic flora. The Missouri Botanical Garden was founded back in 1859 and is located next to Tower Grove Park, another St. Louis landmark. It also has a cafe on-site plus its own fenced-in parking lot.
