This new 2.5-acre outdoor wonderland connects nature, play, and learning, and creates a garden experience for everyone that promises to cultivate, educate, and inspire a lifetime connection to the natural world.
The Bell Children’s Garden features a variety of outdoor areas, awe-inspiring structures, and an overall nature-based story where children in our community and their families can discover delight and wonder while learning about their local Wisconsin environment and make long-lasting memories along the way.
This immense outdoor space supports the Garden’s mission of connecting people with plants by providing year-round educational and recreational experiences for everyone, and will help nurture a love for nature in all guests through every season!
