A hidden gem in the northeast of the city, Kenilworth Aquatic Garden offers 12 acres of ponds filled with a massive collection of aquatic plants like lotuses, hyacinths and lilies. There are also many animals for children to spot, including frogs, beavers, and turtles. Early morning in July is probably the best time to come, when most of the plants are in bloom.
