This place was hands down one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever been to! Plenty to see and learn about here. They don't have as many plant name posts by the plants as other gardens I have been to but it is not my first rodeo. I used Google lens to identify the ones that didn't have tags. The Earth Goddess living statue was absolutely beautiful - even without blooms!!! I highly recommend buying your tickets online and coming in earlier than noon to get a nice stroll in before the heavy crowds come in.

Breathtaking is the best way to describe this botanical garden. There is so much to explore and they even offer free, guided tours. Some of the people in my group participated in the tour, guided by Barb, and it was fantastic! Barb was amazing at what she does and has a true passion for carnivorous plants!

I could spend all day here; it is truly worth the price for tickets if you take your time and really appreciate each exhibit for what it is.

There is so much to see and enjoy!! I will be coming back for sure.

Great garden with many paths to walk and many areas to see. Great location close to downtown and other parks and attractions. This is an experience for the eyes. The people are friendly and nice. The inside facilities are also great. Good parking buy it does cost money. The entry fee is waived if you have a pass to your local garden since they participate in reciprocal.

Such a beautiful place…Total serenity & tranquility! We got a private tour & it was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of various plants/flowers/trees! The green houses are a must see/do!

This place is undeniably beautiful! This is a walkable park with a map. So peaceful with all of the flowers, bushes, trees, birds and water falls. There is a cafe on the premises. There was a tent with adult beverages for sale but free for members of the gardens. There are recognizable bushes and flowers, such as ferns and rose bushes to name a few. The staff members are helpful. Parking has a fee as well as entry into the garden. Great place for a date or photo opportunity. Be sure to stop in the gift shop. This a highly recommended place to visit.

We really enjoyed our time here. You could easily spend an entire day here with your family. We spent half a day and saw everything. It's well organized and easy to navigate. There was not a long wait, we bought tickets when we arrived. The only delay was that people didnt know what they wanted for tickets...i guess? Buy tickets in advance to avoid that. There are food and drink options on site. The restaurant prefers a reservation.

Had a great time walking around and seeing all the different areas. The greenhouse was my favorite with all of the tropical plants. It wasn't too crowded even on a holiday weekend. The outdoor kitchen was neat, they demonstrated cooking a red lentil curry with samples for everyone to try. I just wish there was more seating in the shade available because it was in the upper 90's.
Definitely would come back and highly recommend coming here.

I really liked this experience, but I will say that I think it’s kind of over priced. I’m not sure if it depends on the season that you go, but we didn’t really see many flowers that we would’ve expected to see in a garden. I also feel like there was a huge amount of walking in order to see everything, I think that this should be something that is open to everyone because if I’m being honest, there isn’t really a whole lot to see and there’s a whole lot of walking in order to just see flowers here and there. Also botanical gardens are typically free in most cities. It was a nice experience, but I do wish that there could’ve been more to see.

I didn't know what to expect coming here but it was such a pleasant experience and well worth the price. The pictures don't even compare to in-person. The ambiance, along with the scenery, was therapeutic in a way. Parking was a breeze, and the temp was perfect to enjoy the entire garden. I would recommend coming as soon as they open on the weekends as it was quick getting in, and before the heat kicks in. It doesn't take long for the line to start at the entrance, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it.. I'm highly considering getting a membership.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit, and trust me, it’s well worth the $30 asking price. There’s multiple areas with different plant types, the troll sculptures were super cool, and my favorite as usual was the greenhouse - which was bonkers awesome, especially the tropical area. We spent hours at the place, amazed by all sorts of giant and tiny plants and flowers, the variety is bigger than many other gardens I’ve visited (and I’ve seen many, it’s one of my go to destinations in each city I visit). %150 recommended that you visit, despite the price being a bit steep, it’s absolutely packed with amazing nature you’ve likely never seen before and we’ll worth the price. If you like taking pictures, you’ll spend a good while here having a good time!
