Description

Yerba Buena Gardens allows urbanites to get a little country in their day. Bring a book and nab a patch of grass for a relaxing afternoon on your own, or invite the kids and hunt for butterflies at the Cho-En Butterfly Garden. The little ones have their own space at the Children's Garden where they can ride a carousel built in 1906 (lovingly restored for safety and preservation). You might want to picnic near the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Waterfall or grab a bite at one of the five cafes located on the park.
