Some places can make you feel like you’ve stepped through the looking glass and straight into “Alice in Wonderland.”

One such place in Ohio is the Cleveland Botanical Garden, which features 10 acres of outdoor gardens and an 18,000 square foot glasshouse garden. It’s an ever-changing urban escape of beauty, whimsy and wonder year-round.

A stroll through this garden amid the bustling city gives you a truly dream-like experience.
