Downtown OKC's 15-acre botanical garden with the Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory, seasonal events, free outdoor grounds, and family programs on W Reno Ave.
Myriad Botanical Gardens in Downtown OKC — Crystal Bridge, Gardens & Seasonal Events
Myriad Botanical Gardens is a 15-acre urban oasis in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City at 301 W Reno Avenue. The campus combines free outdoor grounds with ticketed experiences inside the Inasmuch Foundation Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory — a cylindrical greenhouse with waterfalls, elevated walkways, and hundreds of plant varieties that feel worlds away from the Oklahoma plains.
Why Myriad Botanical Gardens Stands Out
Myriad is one of the few attractions in OKC that works equally well for a quick downtown stroll and a full afternoon outing. Outdoor gardens, water features, and event lawns are open daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM at no charge, while the Crystal Bridge and gift shop add a paid indoor layer when you want more depth.
Its location next to Scissortail Park and within walking distance of Bricktown, the Arts District, and downtown hotels makes it an easy anchor for visitors building a walkable OKC day.
