The Camden Children's Garden is a waterfront, four-acre attraction in Camden, New Jersey, operated by the nonprofit Camden City Garden Club Inc., which focuses on environmental education and community greening. The site blends horticultural experiences with interactive features, including indoor attractions such as the Butterfly House and a tropical exhibit, and outdoor spaces like a Dinosaur Garden, a Maze, a Tree House, and Storybook Gardens. Visitors can ride the Carousel, Arrow River Train, and a Spring Butterfly Ride, and the garden also serves as a hub for community programming with administrative offices on site. The organization formed in 1985 to assist Camden residents with community gardening and opened the garden on the Camden Waterfront in 1999.

Its primary audience is children and families, with programs that also engage schools and community groups seeking hands-on horticultural and environmental learning. As a nonprofit anchored in the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, it supports urban greening and education initiatives in the Camden region, and in 2022 partnered with the Camden Education Fund to advance citywide education programming.
