Review of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

Lewis Ginter Botnical Garden is a dream destination for lover birds. Or just friends and family looking to visit a place with a nice big garden with tons of decorations. Pricing was fair at about $11 per adult (well worth it), and plenty of parking all around. I highly suggest visiting at night like we did to see the fabulous lights.

The staff were all friendly and there were plenty of sights to be seen. Starting out, you're greeted with a fountain nicely covered in lights (as with most things in the garden). The best part is that you'll notice there's not just one path to explore the garden. Like an open sandbox video game, you can choose various paths to explore before reaching your destination. This made it incredibly fun to explore as there were many things to see. If you're not thorough, it might take 2 rounds before you cover everything!

As you walk along the paths, you see lots of nice areas where you can't help, but photograph. Truly a sight to be seen. Nice walkways, a bridge across the waters that was lit up brightly, a big tree house that was decorated with disco-like lighting, and many children's book themed decorations like Jack and the Giant Bean Stalk or Charlotte's Web. Truly too much packed in there to list all of them. As a bonus, in case you weren't familiar with the story, there was a label underneath so you could know.



They did have a large building, I'm assuming the main point of the botanical garden, that was absolutely beautiful. You walk inside and you're greeted with a few large tree-like plants, a fountain, and various rooms to explore. All wrapped in white lighting. You continue exploring and you find props for an hold hut/house, more gardens, a train set for decorated after Thumbelina, and a very large Christmas tree that has been fantastically decorated.

I seriously can't imagine how long it must have taken them to put all of this together. Fantastic destination. My boyfriend isn't much of a nature guy, but this place had him in awe and amazement. Best place for a lovers, best place for plant lovers, best place for garden lovers, all around a must-see. If you haven't been here yet, you're doing yourself a disfavor. I can't recommend this place enough.
