This jewel box museum enchants visitors with the beauty of its collected works, landscaped grounds and elegant Spanish Colonial-Revival architecture.
Next, guests venture into the diversity of the Texas Landscape as represented by the themed plantings of the 33-acres of tranquility at the San Antonio Botanical Garden.
Guests can explore the beautiful Lucile Halsell Conservatory with its striking glass pyramids, separated into a variety of environmentally specialized pavilions featuring the flora unique to that environment.
Guests then walk through the Japanese Tea Garden which includes stone arch bridges, a Japanese Pagoda, lily pond, exotic plants, a 60-foot waterfall and a Japanese tori gate at the entrance. The lush year-round garden and floral display is truly breath taking.
