Ghosts in the Gardens

Visitors explore Denver Botanic Gardens after dark to hear true staff encounters, security guard sightings, and the history of the site known as The Boneyard. Storytellers share unsettling tales across the grounds, where guests move at their own pace in any order. Brave attendees can also step inside the historical Beaux-Arts Waring House to uncover hidden secrets. New stories begin every fifteen minutes throughout the evening.
