It is lovely, calm and the butterfly area is amazing.
It would be nice to have a map to takeaway from the place.

For only €3 student entry this is an experience that you must go to whilst in Leipzig. All of the greenhouses were beautifully maintained and we got to see a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis which was a very special moment.

The Botanischer Garten is an amazing example of all wild plants, the place is so entertainment and good for educational purpose too.

Small botanical garden with number of different plants. No ticket for outdoor areas, indoor places need ticket (adult 5 euros, children 3 euros)

pretty big collection of various plants from all continents. the whole outdoor area is free for visiting, indoor orangerie with tropical species are available for fee

Beautiful butterflies and exotic tropical plants in the glass house as well as some interesting cacti and succulents. Also had some cool plants for sale if only I'd not been flying so couldn't bring any home.

Maybe a little expensive at €5 since quite small area but I guess you don't get a lot for €5 these days.

Nice place, main garden free entrance but glasshouse costs 4,00 - unfortunately the space u r allowed in is very limited, which compromises a bit the whole experience

The hothouse where the butterflies are is quite small, and quite warm (especially since we visited on a summer day) but you can see the butterflies up close. I kind of expected more variety, but anyway, you do get to see some beautiful creatures.
