Yes you can sit and study.

There is a photographers fee, plus admission to the Garden. Members of the Garden get a photo session fee waived. Call them if you have questions and help setting it up. It would be a beautiful setting and many options indoors and out of doors.

Different rates. For adults, it is $10 if you are not a member.

Outside food and beverages are not allowed, with the exception of bottled water and baby bottles. Food and drink can be purchased at Trellis Café or the Garden Shop.

I believe it is about 12$ for adults and 5$ for children. This place has the most beautiful scenery in the spring and summer, and the fall. The flowers are beautiful. They have a butterfly sanctuary too I think.

It was very comfortable in the a.m. I would caution the afternoon in the dome as it was the last place we went and should have been the 1st as heat was unbearable by 2pm

Definitely worth a visit!

I would call the customer service desk.

I didn't see scooters for rent here

Hi Veronica! There are quite a few...too many to list here. If you head over to our website dmbotanicalgarden.com/membership, you'll find a link to a pdf you can print and keep with you on road trips! There is also a link to a website there that lists all reciprocal membership benefits. Enjoy exploring the gardens!

The out door gardens should be spectacular and fully mature. The inside is more tropical and keeps pretty constant year round. The orchids inside are awesome. It's just a beautiful place to visit.

There are multiple rooms that you can rent.

An adult ticket is $10, youth (4-17) is $7, and children 3 and under are free. Here's the link to the website https://www.dmbotanicalgarden.com/visit/hours-admission/

No birds. Fish, frogs and a rumored turtle or two!

Des Moines has a photography club on Facebook. So, I guess I would check social media for sculpture clubs. That could lead you to the right direction. I hope this helped.(?)
