I expected a lot more from botanical gardens, seems a lot of it was fenced off.

This is my first time coming, in future I'll likely go try other attractions around Christmas as I feel value for money this wasn't great.

Such a Magical evening at Botanical Gardens with their Christmas Luminate Trail. The trail takes around 90 minutes and halfway round they have a cute fire pit station where you can buy marshmallows and hot chocolate/drinks. It’s definitely worth the visit for any age group as it’s so beautiful to walk round! Already looking forward to returning next year.

Really pleasant place. Nice walk. Cheap entrance but parking experience really disappointing. Ended up looking for a space 1mile away from the venue as parking attendant did not allow people to park at the venue due to a dinosaur event

The only place in Birmingham I feel as though will never disappoint anyone you suggest go there. Closest thing to The Met.

Beautiful 15 acres of amazing landscaped gardens in Birmingham. There are different plants and trees from around the world, one of the amazing trees is the Himalayan Cidars donated to the garden by the son of James Watt in the 1840s.
They also have to playground areas for kids to play and enjoy their time.

Excellent trip with igersbirmingham during the dinosaur exhibition. Always a pleasure to visit anytime of the year.

I really enjoy visiting the Botanical Gardens. Over the years I have been to see Shakespeare plays and summer walks through the beautiful gardens.
However, I only give this place three stars as I believe there is room for improvement. Visiting here only today, we were greeted by a very unfriendly person at the desk, who did not even crack a smile. We experienced similar behaviour when we went into the cafe for lunch. The cafe itself is old and drab. It needs a serious make-over. They would be better making a bistro type place with good food and drink - it would be a goldmine!
I believe with better customer service skills from the staff this place would be really good. It really makes a difference.
Cannot fault the gardens, they are beautiful and I really enjoyed the butterfly house!

Beautiful gardens and very well maintained. I thought it was good value for money. I loved walking round the gardens, all the flowers were in bloom. The gift shop was very nice too. Would definitely recommend and wouls love to revisist
