Located in the heart of downtown, Myriad Gardens is not easily visible from the street. But pull off the street and you will find a full 17 acres that turn cosmopolitan into comforting country. Beautiful grounds are enchanting with a sunken lake populated by geese and ducks. It is one of the "secret spots" of Oklahoma City, our own Central Park, but more personalized -- and free for everyone to roam and relax. Centrally located in the gardens is a gigantic glass cylinder. Meet the Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory. There is a fee to enter the Crystal Bridge, but it is very reasonable. Adults, $6; Seniors and Students, $5; and Children 4-12, $3. A 35-foot waterfall sets off paths lined with more than 1,000 species of exotic plants, divided into the Tropical Rain Forest Zone and the Dry Tropical Zone. Butterflies abound.
Depending on time and inclination, we might go to a late lunch following our flowery footwork. We will meet by the Crystal Bridge, right outside the gift shop, at 11 a.m. Look for a person holding a Mensa sign.
Directions: The Myriad Gardens are located at Reno & Robinson in downtown OKC. It is easy to see the Crystal Bridge from the road but the gardens surrounding it are not easily visible from the street.
