Friendship Botanic Gardens
About this place
A 105-acre botanical garden on the shores of Trail Creek near Lake Michigan, with paved walking paths, three miles of trails, and a children's garden. Families can explore native plants from around the world, spot over 30 bird species, and use the fitness stations designed for different ability levels. The gardens offer benches and picnic areas for resting, and guided tours can be arranged with staff or board members, typically lasting an hour. Admission is discounted for groups with museum memberships.
