Memphis Botanic Garden spans 96 acres of ponds, meadows, and specialty spaces such as the Japanese Garden of Tranquility, playful My Big Backyard, and ever-changing seasonal exhibits. Rent a troll hunt map, feed koi near the red bridge, or bring a picnic for lunch among the cherry trees. Concerts and family festivals fill the calendar, while educational programs serve more than 40,000 students each year. Plan two to three hours for a relaxed visit and don’t miss the rose garden when it’s in full bloom.
