• No pets allowed, so leave the dog at home; the garden does not admit animals
• GPS to Kairėnų g. 57, the main ticket office, which is the address the garden gives drivers
• Ski tracks after snowfall, since in snowy winters the garden marks cross-country tracks and sledging spots

Lithuania's largest botanical garden has its main 191-hectare site on a former manor estate in Kairėnai, with forest, meadows, streams and ponds. Kids can walk the Japanese Garden, see some 600 lilac bushes on Lilac Hill, and climb through the award-winning Green Building to its observation terrace, past a display of spiny plants. In snowy winters, marked tracks open for cross-country skiing and sledging.
