June is one of the prettiest months to be in Denver, and the Botanic Gardens are a wonderful place to experience the beauty that nature has to offer. The Denver gardens are among the top-ranked Botanic Gardens in the U.S. You will have the opportunity to participate in a guided tour, which will teach you about the current plants in bloom, the special trees, and the history of the gardens.

The Gardens are consistently rated one of the must-see attractions in Denver. Sites include a huge tropical house and library, and Japanese, Chinese, and Mediterranean gardens. There is also a café and espresso shop located within the gardens. The price includes admission, transportation, a guided tour, and all gratuities. Lunch can be purchased from the café onsite.
