Myriad Botanical Gardens

DirectionsOpenStreetMap

The Myriad Botanical Gardens in Oklahoma City, OK, is a 15-acre botanical garden right in the downtown district. Its centerpiece is the Crystal Bridge, a conservatory surrounded by outdoor grounds that visitors can wander at their own pace. Close to the old road and near several museums, it makes a green, relaxing break between city sights, and it works well for travelers with children.

What is Myriad Botanical Gardens?

This is a city-center garden on about 15 acres, right in downtown Oklahoma City. The conservatory, formally named Inasmuch Foundation Crystal Bridge Conservatory, is the main attraction and the reason many visitors come.

Around the conservatory, the outdoor grounds are open for strolling, so even a short visit can include a walk among plantings with no fixed route. For a traveler who has spent hours behind the wheel, that kind of easy, unplanned wandering is a welcome change of pace.

Visiting Myriad Botanical Gardens: tips

Plan on 30 minutes for a walk outside, longer if you visit the conservatory. Restrooms are on site, it is listed as wheelchair accessible and it is considered kid-friendly.

The Oklahoma City Museum of Art and the American Banjo Museum are each about 0.4 miles away, and the Oklahoma City National Memorial is about 0.5 miles off, so the gardens fit neatly into a downtown walking day. A hotel is just a block away.
