Zilker Botanical Garden
Walk through themed gardens, koi ponds and shaded hillside paths beside Zilker Park. The garden rewards a slower visit, with uneven terrain between its different planted landscapes.
The Japanese garden and prehistoric planting area offer distinct ways to look at plants within one compact destination. Streams, ponds and mature live oaks give the walk a quieter character than the nearby playing fields. Garden design and close observation give this walk its focus.
