The botanical center is a 38-acre garden that recreates three regional landscapes: East Texas piney woods, Southwest Texas plains, and Central Texas Hill country. It is one of the top 10 botanical centers in the country. The Lucille Halsell Conservatory is climate-controlled and has a tropical house, desert house, palm house and fern room that are all amazing.

The collection of lilies were my favorite...what vibrant colors.

Admission is $8/adults, $6/seniors. Because I am from southeastern PA, I have long loved Longwood Gardens and have never seen anything to compare. I can honestly say that this place was really exceptional. We totally enjoyed our visit. The exhibits are amazing. Don't miss this beautiful and tranquil setting if you are in the San Antonio. We went during a weekday so it was not crowded and we were able to enjoy the serenity of these gardens.
