From the reviews
This is a very nice place to go walking, especially because you can bring your dog. The trail has plenty of sunny spots and shade intermingled. There is a fountain and small lake and lots of playgrounds for children. The flowers are exquisite as is the landscaping.
Came here for my elopement/micro wedding! It was beautiful, everyone at the park so nice and respectful!
Getting married at Springfield-Greene County Botanical Center
Springfield-Greene County Botanical Center comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
