Spend a day perusing these magnificent gardens, located just 30 minutes from the great Niagara Falls. Kids can build a sand castle, water a garden, or examine a bug (among other things) at Wegmans Family Garden, while parents find peace and quiet in the Shrub/Perennial Peace Garden. Looking to keep your 5 to 12-year-olds busy in the summer? Sign them up for Art Camp. It is held in July and August from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and is $19 per day. The Gardens are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors 55 and up and students 13 and up with identification, $4 for children 3 to 12, and free for children 2 and under!
