Botanical World Adventures is offering free admission to its popular World Botanical Gardens all day Friday, July 1.

“We want to give back to our community and just felt this is one fun way to do that,” said Kika Nixon, operations manager of the Free First Friday event. “We have had free admission to the beautiful gardens during our Easter event, but this is the first time we have given free admission to the World Botanical Gardens area alone.”

The operations manager said there also will be huge discounts on the popular Zip Isle and Segway adventure tours.

The gardens area at Botanical World Adventures features magnificent floral gardens, a rainbow walk, world-class permanent maze, Kamaee Falls, arboretum and vista views from the location at the base of Mauna Loa.

Botanical World Adventures is located 16 miles north of Hilo at mile marker 16 on Highway 19. It is open 9 a.m.-5:30p.m. daily. For more information, call 963-5427, toll free at 888-947-4753, or visit www.ZipIsle.com or BotanicalWorld.com.
