Summer of Play: Myths and Legends

Watch dragons soar through the skies, unicorns gallop through the glades, and mermaids swim through our lakes as a bevy of ancient legends come to life in the gardens. Young adventurers can find five play zones, each with its own distinct mythological creature. Along the way, enjoy a variety of garden games and hands-on activities. Whether you’re helping the trolls build dens in the Play Glade or simply soaking up the magical atmosphere, there is something for the whole family to enjoy.
Summer of Play is free, but normal garden admissions apply. The garden has accessible paths, but some of the play zones of the trail are off the main path. Please contact us if you have any specific requirements.
