Graham and I went to the "World of Wonders" at the Botanical Gardens about a month and a half ago - just testing it out to see if we wanted to get a membership. We had a mommy-Graham day - played in the kids' area and had a picnic lunch on a blanket next to the river. (I was looking for some special bonding time at the picnic, and Graham was MUCH more interested in the million "mime-mones" (pinecones) that were around our blanket. And the "big bat" (big bath) - river.)
While I know the gardens are not technically an undiscovered treasure, they are (were?) to us. The kids' area is AMAZING! We have since bought a membership and have been back about 5 times. And every time we go, we don't come close to covering the entire kids' area.
There is a bald eagle at the gardens that has made it's nest every year for the past three year - there's now a baby eagle in the nest. AMAZING!
One of Graham's favorite areas - the giant box of dirt - complete with shovels and scoops! (I find it INCREDIBLY difficult to clean under his fingernails every time he plays in the dirt!)

The reason we went was because it was a hot day, and I was sure the big sprinkleres would be one. No such luck. Which ended up being a good thing. The small sprinklers in the frog area were on, and that was enough for Graham!
