Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis

Beautiful botanical gardens with 4 indoor conservatories. Plan to spend around 2 hours exploring the gardens and reading through the biome information in the conservatory center.

I will note that much of the gardens were under construction, so we didn’t see as much as we’d like. Also, while most trees have name plaques, none of the flowers outside of the conservatories have any. We would have liked to know more information about those plants.

It was nice but there was a lot of construction and I'm not a big fan of all the artificial decorations. I was hoping for just a little bit more from the greenhouses.

They did a super job decorating the gardens for the Christmas season with beautiful lights and informative visuals that can be appreciated during the day, but it's at night when the neon and other lighting really pop. Not understanding Spanish well, I was still about to learn quite a bit just from the visuals, then could use Google Translate to understand scene recordings for the rest. Will definitely visit again.

Place is ok. Better for kids, as there are lots of “funny” looking animal figures. Lots of construction going on. Green house has nice architecture. But no real jungle feeling as there should be way more plants.

Absolutely loved my time here!! Really beautiful Botanical Gardens, with a huge variety of plants and environments. Give yourself several hours to explore, if you can.

Totally worth it. Got to see a bunch of wild hummingbirds!!
The domes were good. Needs more signs on plants and trees.
Went late afternoon, was quiet enough to enjoy all species.
They also have a cute veggie patch.

It sucks to pay more if you're a foreigner. Outdated practice.

Anyway, highly recommended.

This botanical garden was very beautiful and breathtaking. Everything was so well maintained, and it had plants from different regions of Colombia. The water features were calming, and I just sat there enjoying it all. The roses were bigger than my fist and there is a cafe for refreshments and snacks. My coffee was amazing. If you love plants, do not miss this one if you are ever in Bogotá, Colombia.

My wife and I came here and we were surprised by its size. We bought the full access tickets and we did not have enough time to get through the entire botanical garden but next time we will come prepared. The tropical section was a little hot for my wife since people from Bogotá aren’t used to warmer climates but luckily we both were wearing hydration packs and she had cold juice to easily hydrate herself. My favorite part has to be the rose garden with spacious areas for families and couples to sit in the grass and benches or walk around and enjoy themselves
