  Extremely well displayed and designed botanical garden. The garden has useful and informative explanations for those seeking detail, examples of local species for gardeners, tropical forest and orchid displays with educational information. Special exhibits included fantasy sculptures scattered around the garden like dragons and mermaids. I didn’t have a chance to try the restaurant or snack bar but they seemed to have an excellent selection and the prices were reasonable. Be sure to take in the forest canopy walk, it’s one of the few ways to walk through a forest off the ground on an easy path. Then walking back enjoy the fountains that sound like a babbling brook.

  A pretty botanical garden to visit and a place for families to enjoy. There is lots to see and a nice way to spend the day. Loved the Chihuly glass installments throughout the garden that they had up while we were there. Look up their official website to see if anything special is going on like walking around the garden at night or seeing the place lit up for Christmas. The special outings just make the experience more unique.

  This is the most beautiful garden I have ever viewed. I visited when winter was turning to spring, thus I was there to see all of the tulips (My favorite flower. Of course I was elated.)! I did not drive because of the reviews regarding poor parking. So many varieties of orchids that captured my attention, although I am not an orchid fan. I adored the edible garden as well. Especially after knowing that they donate the produce to food banks and shelters after grown. The fee to enter the garden was cheap too!

  I've gone here on two occasions. Once for my granny's birthday and once as my second outing with my daughter when she was 9 months. It's VERY relaxing. You can enjoy every piece of the property without it being too crowded. It takes about 2 hours to view every inch of the place. During certain seasons they have light shows, weddings, and other events. They also have a restaurant on the compound that serves pretty decent food for $10-$15 dollars. Not a very big selection, but it works. There's a snack bar as well for more simple food/snacks. A big greenhouse full of plants and places to sit....very picture worthy. Last but not least, plenty of walking trails and resting spots.

  Beautiful, large and well designed. In the "forest walk through" area you get the feeling of walking through the forest floor as well at near the tree tops on a high bridge that snakes through. The tropical plants indoors were amazing to see and there was large terrarium with poison tree frogs. In the "edible garden" there's a brunch you must pre register for but it looked very cool though we did not partake. There's also a Cafe for anyone to eat at.
