I love the Atlanta Botanical Garden! It is beautiful any time of year. Indoor and outdoor gardens mean there's always something in bloom. The programs offered by the garden are educational and fun. They have different levels of dinning so you can grab a snack or share a formal lunch. We are members and return every year.

This is truly a world class garden. I've been a member for years. One of my favorite places in Atlanta. This not-so-hidden gem is finally starting to attract the attention of the general public, so it's more crowded than it used to be. But that's a great thing for the garden. There's something to see year round.

Very serene and beautiful. Not as large as I thought but plenty to see. I could see being a member if you live close enough. Great walking paths. Had to have a timed entry so I don't know if the Gardens are normally quiet or if it is the reservation times that are spacing tourists apart. Would return again!

Unfortunately the actual garden itself was closed... I had no idea that the garden would turn out to be closed on Mondays so that was a disappointment but the times were clearly stated in their info so that fault is my own. On a positive note, I was still able to walk around the park and admire the plant sculptures from afar. Maybe I'll actually be able to see it next time I'm visiting ATL

January 2021: last night of Christmas lights was beautiful and a great way to mark the end of the holidays. Musical synchronized forest was the best. Private fire s'mores was a 2021 perk. With limited tickets this year, it was fantastic!

The next best thing to going to the beach. I've taken field trips here and gone with my family. It's magical no matter the season. The Christmas lights are something to behold. A wonderful way to embrace the season, collecting memories for you and your children. Just go. You won't regret it!

Went there for the Alice in Wonderland exhibit cocktails after dark, and absolutely loved it! The sculptures were super cool, and their set up was really nice. Flowers were gorgeous and despite a lot of people going for the event, it was still a very chill atmosphere.

This place was an absolute treasure!

This place was an absolute treasure!
The expansive grounds have many various paths through many different environments & a huge variety of flowers, plants, edibles (with food demo & tastings). They have: early evening wine strolls, a medium-sized suspension bridge, fountains, ponds, a cafe, an upscale dining room, lots of shade, an arbor (with seating under), open (& partially shaded) patio areas (with seating), inside viewing areas, a quiet, museum setting with stunning lighting and amazing pictures of orchids, along with an entire orchid building, a tropical, humid growing building, a spawling, open lawn ... and SO MUCH MORE! There are plenty of drinking fountains, seating, & bathrooms, and, oh ... the large garden scultures, & I must mention the lights.

The gift shop was amazing in its own right with such a perfect variety of wares from super nice gifts to kid friendly, all wonderful (graphically pleasing), colorful, or scented, and all superior quality. Honestly, I did not see a single item in the gift shop that I would consider "cheap" by any aspect of the word! Some gifts are theme related to the scultures to ensure the memories of your visit will stay with you via any trinket that becons you to take it home.You can get acess to the gift shop without paying for & entering the gardens (highly recommended for unique gifts).

I swear this place is NOT paying me to say this stuff, I genuinely LOVED all the facets and thought and effort the Atlanta Botanical Gardens has put in and obviously constantly puts in!

BRAVO, to all the personnel that maintain, plan, and run this location ... it would be a perfect spot for so many occassions!!

Was nice and pretty big. They had the lake goddess under construction which I did not know when I booked the trip. This was why we visited atlanta. So we were a little disappointed. My kids love Moana and that's what it looks like it the pictures lol . Also in the pictures on the site shows lots of things made from flowers and plants which we couldn't find anything like that other then the dog . I'm not sure if it's because seasons are changing or those were from specific events. Either way my kids loved the children's garden and there were some beautiful attractions. We will definitely go back just during a better season

I loved the Botanical Gardens, they had many different types of flowers and plants from different climates and places. It was very interesting and beautiful, my children even enjoyed visiting here. I was disappointed that at the time that we visited the Earth Goddess sculpture was being renovated, so we were unable to see how beautiful she actually was in the pictures we had viewed on the website. Another thing that I didn't like, was that the staff at the restaurant weren't to pleasant. I had my children with me, they weren't being disruptive or disrespectful, but I felt like the staff were annoyed if they asked for a refill on their beverages or spoke to them at all. Maybe in the future the staff could be a little more nicer to their paying guests, it would definitely improve the tips they receive.

We were a bit disappointed at how many things were closed or under renovations. Earth goddess is under renovations until April. Not worth the money at all for this time of the year (Feb).

Nice beautiful gardens but pricey. Lucky we did the teen festival because they get in for 5.00. If I would had to pay full price I would have been upset. Lots of walking . So if its feature you want to see ask the attendant otherwise you will just be walking a trail with exhibits here and there.

Beautiful venue. Regardless the season, it's a treat to go thru the gardens. Christmas time is extraodinary. Getting in and out on a busy night can be problematic. But that's more area of town than the park. Always fun to visit.

Crisp, clean, refreshing experience that allows the inner spirit to dwell in a harmonious sanctuary. I remember wishing I had more water when I visited. Perhaps a sprinkler system review is in order.

The Botanical Garden is a special place, it houses some amazing varieties of plants. The trees, flowers, and rare varieties are really neat to check out. This place gets especially wonderful in the winter. The Christmas light display is 2nd to none. You can walk around a good 2 hours enjoying the lights if not more. Super cute date night, or fun for the family.
