In addition to the Rose Garden, Oriental Garden, Butterfly Trail, and Herb Garden you'll find dinosaur tracks, a one-room log cabin school house, a blacksmith shop, composting display, and a myriad of resting places and educational displays. In the Spring the gardens make a lovely backdrop for Wedding or other occasion photo shoots.

The Zilker Botanical Gardens are on the North side of Barton Springs Road.
