For only five days, the Denver Botanic Gardens is transformed at night with spooky decor, glow in the dark entertainment and fantastically illuminated pumpkin carvings. The family friendly event features over 500 pumpkins that are carved in unique ways. Take a nice stroll through the gardens and one will find delightful displays from cute to creative to creepy. Live displays featured a wisecracking vampire, a dancing glow-in-the-dark stick figure, moving greek statues and flame throwing acrobatics. Our evening was rounded out rather well thanks to Mother Nature providing unseasonably warm temps, low clouds and a brightly lit moon ( job well done ole gal). Food and Drink stands are available at the start/end of the tour and just past the spider tunnel. Kudos to the Gardens for coming up with a recycling plan this year! It is a sell out event at The Gardens so get tixs early (usually on sale at the end of month August). To enjoy the evening, plan to walk (soft gravel with some uneven areas) and allow yourself at least 90-105 minutes.

This review is based solely off of communication with staff at the Gardens at St Elizabeth. In…read moreOctober of 2017 and then in again in January of 2018 - I emailed the director of admissions/sales inquiring about future residency for an aging relative. It is now July of 2018 and I have never gotten a return email. I have called and been connected to the admissions/sales office only to always get a voice mail. I left one voice mail with no return phone call. Just today i called and again only got the voicemail and decided not to wasted my time by leaving another message. As anyone knows looking for a community for a loved one - communication with management and directors is lacking at almost all facilities.

I have been employed at this community for over 9 years and hope to work there for many more years…read more The employees, many of which have been there for 10+ years (a handful as long as 28+ years!!) are treated very well and it is a true blessing to work with the residents. I know other staff as well as the leadership staff feel the same. The Campus Director is great about recognizing staff by celebrating things like Healthcare Dining Services Week or Healthcare Workers Week, etc. We all are recognized and celebrated throughout the year, nobody is left out. We have fun by planning activities with both the staff and the residents together. Each year there is a big Resident and Family Appreciation Party, Christmas Open House for residents and their families along with many more fun thoughtful events to show our residents and family how much we enjoy and appreciate them! It is a true family...

This is a beautiful park along the water and next to an amusement park. Parking is not the easiest…read moreas it's street parking. It also can get busy. It's a rather small park.

Centennial Gardens is a tranquil spot in the city of Denver to relax while breathing in the aroma…read moreof colorful flowers, overhearing the songs of birds, and seeing the sights of a picturesque garden spot. It is a five acre garden spot inspired by the Gardens of Versailles. The gardens is a marriage of France and Colorado where native drought tolerant plants grow in a France inspired Botanical garden. From my experience, Centennial Gardens is worth the visit when it is combined with another point of interest. It's downtown location makes this simple. It is located off the South Platte River Trail. This garden spot borders Elitch Gardens Amusement Park. Pepsi Center stands a couple hundred feet south to the south. It was the South Platte River Trail that led us here. It was a short walk across the river from the REI Starbuck's where we were chillaxing. Approaching the gardens from the trail, I saw a cast iron black fence. The first time we hiked on the South Platte River Trail we passed over stopping by. If I decided to have passed over stepping inside the gardens, I would have seen the whole park from the Platte River Trail. In want of an entrance at the South Platte River Trail, we walked along the edge of the east periphery to the south where a sidewalk led into the columns that bordered the entrance. We had the gardens to ourselves. The majority of my visit was spent chillaxing on a bench near by a water feature and touring the walking paths while taking pictures. If you are into photography as I am, Botanical gardens are photo magic. As the picture collection below shows, I enjoyed photographing the urban landmarks that blended in with the picturesque flowers. The nearby Elitch Gardens Observation Tower truly captured the photo magic of Centennial Gardens. The 200 foot tall landmark blended in magnificently with the water feature. It blended even nicer with a bed of blooming flowers that created the illusion that the Observation Tower grew out of the flower bed. In the heart of this five acre Gardens of Versailles-inspired Botanical Gardens , the patterns of walkways and flowerbeds captured the architecture of the nearby Speer Boulevard Bridge. Then by the north periphery facing south the gardens shared a sensational vista with the Denver skyline and Pepsi Center. In the closing paragraph, I would like to reemphasize that Centennial Gardens is worth a visit with another point of interest. From the perspective of somebody who loves the great outdoors I suggest combining it with Denver's Great outdoors as a stopover off the South Platte River Trail. Finally, please bring your camera.
