Ghosts in the Gardens

Denver Botanic Gardens dares you to join us after dark for the spine-tingling stories of our haunted history.

Denver Botanic Gardens invites you to venture out after dark for an unforgettable evening of eerie history and unsettling tales. Explore the Gardens after hours as storytellers share true staff experiences, security guard encounters with the unexplained and the haunting history of the place once known as "The Boneyard."

If you're feeling brave, step inside the historical Waring House for an exclusive glimpse into the Beaux-Arts mansion and the secrets it may still hold.

The Gardens is beautiful by day—but after dark, it tells a different story. Every shadow holds a story, and every turn invites the possibility of a ghostly encounter. Will you leave with a chilling tale of your own?

This self-guided experience allows you to visit storytellers in any order. The tour takes approximately 90 minutes, with new stories beginning every 15 minutes.
