It was a truly beautiful garden, with so much to see that they paid attention to every single corner. Everything was simply stunning, creating a calming atmosphere. As we entered, we were informed of the duration of our stay. We arrived around 12 p.m. and were told that we had until 3 p.m. to explore the garden. Initially, we were skeptical about staying for that long, but we ended up staying until 3 p.m. The garden was so captivating that we couldn’t resist admiring its natural beauty. It was truly the finest experience we’ve ever had. My daughter and I had a wonderful time there.

We went to Botanic Gardens recently and had such a good time. The flowers were all blooming and everything looked so colorful and alive. Everywhere we walked there was something beautiful to look at, and you could tell how much work and care goes into keeping the gardens looking that nice. Even though it was packed with people, the whole place still felt really peaceful. One of our favorite parts was seeing little bunnies and birds just relaxing around everyone. It was honestly really wholesome seeing the animals so comfortable around people and enjoying the space too. It gave the gardens such a calm and happy feeling. The customer service was amazing as well. Every staff member we came across was friendly, welcoming, and helpful even with how busy it was. Nobody seemed stressed or rude, and it made the experience even better. What we liked most was just how relaxing everything felt. It was nice walking around, taking our time, and enjoying nature for a few hours away from all the noise of the city. There are so many beautiful spots to stop, sit, and take everything in. Definitely recommend visiting during the blooming season because it makes the experience even more special. We’ll definitely be back again.

This is a wonderful botanic garden. All the plants are well-labelled, and they have areas that cover many different kinds of environments - from desert to mountains. There is also a lot of art, as well as creative use of different types of edging and walks and path surfaces. This adds to the feeling you are walking through the forest or in a Japanese garden. I highly recommend visiting if you love flowers, and especially if you are looking for gardening ideas. It is $18.95 to enter, but there are senior and student discounts. There are several places to grab food as well as a lovely gift shop.

We had a really great time visiting the Denver Botanic Gardens. It’s a beautiful place to spend a few hours walking around and enjoying nature. Everything was so green, well maintained, and peaceful, and there were so many lovely areas to explore. We really enjoyed just taking our time and walking through the gardens. The only downside was that it was extremely crowded on the weekend, and parking was difficult to find. It would be great if tickets were limited to a certain amount per time slot to make the experience feel a little less packed and easier to enjoy. Overall, it was a very nice visit and we truly liked it. Definitely worth seeing if you’re in the area!

What a gem! So much to see. Thoroughly enjoyed walking around here and taking in all the marvelous exhibits and plants and flowers. Love the set up and the different conservatories. Didn't get to see everything so I guess it will be another trip back for me! The set up is very nice and there was even a wedding taking place there. It was just breathtaking. The sculptures are beautiful as well as the featured artist who had an installation at the pond. Loved that I got to see a hummingbird up close and for so long! ☺️
