A lush paradise within an urban landscape, the Myriad Botanical Gardens & Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory is a premier destination in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City. This award-winning, 15-acre area features an impressive, community-oriented outdoor space that is a hub of activity. 

Take a walk through the gardens to watch the serene stream and calming waterfalls flow, sit on a bench and listen to the sounds of the city or admire the unique plants and flowers dotting the landscape. Your four-legged friends are welcome in the Myriad Botanical Gardens Dog Park, where dogs will enjoy a jaunt around the park leash-free.

For the first time in its 30-plus year history, the Crystal Bridge Conservatory in Myriad Botanical Gardens will undergo a complete renovation of its interior spaces. Among the many upgrades designed to enhance visitor experience are a new path layouts, educational exhibits, improved ADA accessibility and a new gift shop.

Additional features of the $9.7 million project include improvements to the Conservatory’s interior aging infrastructure, a more diverse plant collection with both permanent and rotating exhibits, as well as new and enhanced water elements, circulation paths, and sitting areas. A second level terrace feature will overlook the conservatory and add much-needed educational programming and venue space. Improved accessibility, including an elevator, will enable people for all ages and physical abilities to fully enjoy the space.

During warmer months, the interactive Thunder Fountain cools off young visitors as it replicates the cycle of a thunderstorm, complete with heavy downpours followed by water-flower blossoms. The fountain operates from 10am-8pm daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Kids can also climb, jump and play in the Children's Garden, featuring a colorful playground with grassy mounds, oversize letters and metal structures. 

Sunday night concerts and art exhibits lend a well-rounded cultural flare to the Gardens' programming. In the winter, Myriad becomes part of Downtown in December with an ice skating rink and a variety of seasonal programs.

Guided tours of Myriad Botanical Gardens are available with advance notice. 

***NOTICE*** The Crystal Bridge Conservatory is currently closed for a major interior renovation. It is scheduled to reopen fall of 2022.
