Over 50 acres of the 150 being used for a gorgeous display showcasing a variety of flowers, trees, plants and landscaping skills. For over 100 years these gardens have offered a stunning visual which takes you through a multitude of different sections from the "field" display of the Sunken Gardens to the meticulous care of the Japanese Garden.

This attraction offers up enough to soemd a day with a stage that showcases live music, multiple food and beverage outlets, and a gift shop. Don't forget the Rose carousel which is $2 for a ride!

In the evenings in the summer the night illumination is a must see as it offers a completely different perspective of the Sunken Gardens so I recommend trying to stay when it gets dark. Something that helps is the evening fireworks. A 30 minute display of dancing lights in an array of colours.
