A family museum membership signals refined parenting ambitions (early exposure to Monet encourages decorum!), but nothing beats the open-air sophistication of a botanical garden. A membership to your local botanical garden offers an elegant escape, perfect for quick getaways when someone\u2019s patience inevitably frays, and the thought of yet another slog through a Petri dish masquerading as a cultural institution (this is a fact, no matter how nice your city&#8217;s children&#8217;s museum is!) feels like a punishment for a crime she didn&#8217;t commit.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find a botanical garden that doesn&#8217;t offer enriching, child-friendly activities like arts, crafts and gardening, libraries with storytimes, classes and camps, outdoor pavilions and grassy enclaves. Most have kid-friendly dining options beyond the typical caf\u00e9 sandwiches, and some even allow outside snacks in the children&#8217;s sections. Gift her the ultimate luxury: leisurely afternoons amid greenery, no planning, no queues and, above all, no frantic, silent regret.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\tfbq('init', '618909876214345');\n\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Most Elegant Way to Disappear for an Afternoon Renewed annually, without hesitation.
