Atlanta Botanical Garden

I've been to this garden many times before but never left a review. Every visit I have here has always been wonderful. I can spend hours here. Now, your experience will vary depending on the time of year. If you want to see the garden in full bloom, do not come early spring. Wait until May or even June to see the garden at its best. This is also a great place for photographers , so if you have a DSLR of any kind, I recommend bringing it along with you. Also, if you need to rest while walking the garden, there are plenty of places to have a seat. You can also bring a water bottle and fill it at the many water fountains that are spread across the property. Dress comfortably with a good pair of walking shoes. Overall, it is a wonderful experience, and I will be visiting even more times in the future.

Just absolutely beautiful! Staff including volunteers were friendly and informative! Food was delicious and pretty affordable. The map they give you is easy to follow and helpful. The actual gardens were amazing, their installation pieces were unique and executed perfectly, and their art pieces gave it a nice artistic touch!

We went on Saturday 4/19/25.. I was disappointed that the goddess wasn’t filled in yet but we will come back for that. There was a haiku festival that was fun and we painted with broccoli. We couldn’t get into the restaurant without waiting almost 2hrs so we just got sandwiches and fruit at the express cafe. Everything was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The orchid house was stunning! So many species I’ve never seen before! Will definitely be back soon!

I visited the botanical gardens in October 2024. They had a bunch of pumpkin decorations and fall/Halloween theme throughout the garden. There was also an Alice in Wonderland exhibit outside. It was a lot of fun walking through the whole place and seeing all the different plants.

I went to the Garden Party at the Atlanta Botanical garden because I love flowers. I paid $100 for the event which included an early entrance ( which is almost impossible unless you arrive an hour early due to heavy traffic ) a thin blanket, two complimentary (mocktail) drinks and pictures with backgrounds. Did not include food (I paid $15 for a crepe, $18 for street tacos and $45 for a chef's box) would have been better off getting the $65 ticket. There was live music from various people including groups to individuals playing instruments. I'm a nature lover and enjoy being outside plus it was a nice dress up event. I would go back but I'm not paying for the "extras" next time.
