Reiman Gardens

Loved this place. Very educational. Especially loved the butterfly house. This was still early in the season and between blooming varieties. Summer and rose season would be beautiful. Definitely would go back. They have special activities for children also.

A beautiful place to relax and enjoy the flowers and plants. The butterfly garden is amazing too. Thank you for a great experience

Nice place to walk around and enjoy all the greenery. There were fun things for children included along the paths.

Little early for anything. Part of Gardens closed. Colors and plants in conservatory are a breath of fresh air. So gorgeous. Butterflies are captivating, as always. Can't wait for spring and summer.

Always a fun time. Took the kids to "Caterpillar club" a free program offered weekly. They all wore masks and we met outside. Kids liked it a lot.

I always enjoy Reiman. Whether it's the butterfly exhibit, Elwood the world's largest gnome, or the outdoor exhibits that are new each summer, Reiman is full of fun!

It is such a fun place!! Low entry fee and beautiful place. I am a photographer and will definitely be back with more clients!!

I grew up near Ames, and have been to Reiman Gardens several times. It is very well done, and has added several features and new garden areas as time has gone by.

There are buildings for tropical plants and butterflies, as well as generous grounds for the gardens. The facility has hosted several national touring displays, whether glass art or Lego sculptures. Benches and small shelters or pergolas can be found around the site for a respite.

There are also conference rooms and separate structures on the site for meetings or even smaller weddings, as well as a gift shop with snacks.

Awesome unexpected addition to our Ames trip. I might be a little biased as an Iowa State Alum but my 9 month old loved it. Weather was perfect and the tulips were in full bloom and perfect for pictures. My son loved the butterflies and his head was on a swivel the entire time so we couldn t get a good picture. It s jam packed with butterflies compared to other butterfly gardens I ve been to.

Make sure to visit if you are in the area. Beautiful gardens and they just expanded them.
