A MUST see if you love plants and natural beauty! Stunning! So much to see! I was here at least 3 hours by myself and could have stayed longer! Definitely plan on coming again! The tropical plants were my favorite as they are so unique and beautiful! I also enjoyed touring the house and learning about the owner that built the garden. I came on a Wednesday in July at 9:07am and there were already a lot of cars in the parking lot!

First time visiting and absolutely loved it!! We were here for a few hours and still didn't get to see it all,and would love to come back. $16 entry and $6 tram ride makes for a very reasonable way to spend the day. The tram takes you all the way around the grounds and I highly recommend it. We did that first to help determine which areas we wanted to make sure that we visited. We visited the indoor rainforest area in the dome and "Wow!!" It was beautiful!! We also visited the Japanese Gardens and loved it.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit! I went during a weekday and on the weekend. Both times were a bit busy, but the space is large enough that it wasn't an issue. You can tell a lot of love and care goes into maintaining the grounds. All of the plants are thoughtfully placed, described, and healthy despite the recent bad weather. Like most botanical gardens, the experience is meant to educate as much as it is to be breathtaking to look at. And all of this is pretty affordable! It was an absolute pleasure to visit.

This is one of the best botanical gardens I've been too. It show cases the history of Henry shaw and the people around him taking care of the gardens. It goes in depth with the history of the people and the advances in what they accomplished. The garden itself is such a delight and an amazing experience. It took me all 8 hours taking my time exploring every nook and cranny but even then I wasnt able to fully see it, I had to rush the last hour until they closed. This place is for everyone, singles, couples, family, family with kids, etc...

This place goes on forever !!! Blew every single botanical garden I've been to so far in the U.S. Highly recommend this experience. The Dome is really special . Many plants I had never seen before , it was wild . We didn't even see everything it was so big. Museum , cafes , absolutely beautiful . My favorite were the Japanese gardens - so peaceful . Pro tip ; if you come in later , tickets are half price . You'll have to walk faster lol to get through it all . They also offer military discounts & other specials as well.
