Helen Fowler Library Denver Botanic Gardens Reviews

It's an amazing place to visit. The plants were species I have seen in the tropics before. It's a lovely family hangout!!!

Always beautiful and fascinating. If you have never been it is a must see.

One of the best Botanical Gardens I have ever visited. Very we ll laid out design with an diverse amount of plants each grouped into its region. I really liked the way they created landscapes for the different locations for where the plants originated.

A treasure to have in Denver. Indoor gardens and Christmas light walks during the winter and amazing outdoors during the spring/summer/fall.

The lights were really awesome at night and it was nicely laid out

Blossoms of light is a great outdoor activity for families, dates, and group ooh-ing and aww-ing. Be sure to bundle up in layers! The wind will pass through certain areas of the gardens and when you get close to water features the temperature will drop. Decor differs each year, and so do the kaleidoscopic glasses they sell. Hot chocolate, nibbles, and apple cider are available at a few locations. Don't be afraid of the snow - it's magical and the lines are usually shorter!

No matter if you are young or old, this is a fun and educational place to go! We have gone now in early spring and in the summer! Now I need to try the fall and the Blossoms of Light!

The holiday display is nice. Could use more traditional red and green lights.

Fantastic facilities filled with all kinds of fauna and fun to entice the whole family! Loved the layout and features

So nice calm and loved seeing all the plants they are so beautiful

It was beautifully decorated and the staff is very friendly.

A vibrant and dynamic institution!! I intend to become a member.

Beautiful second time I've been definitely need to check it in spring time and winter time all around beautiful!!

We went in the winter, so we unfortunately missed most of the outside beauty of the place, but overall, just wow. The place is amazing, the orchid exhibit was incredibly cool, and the indoor section was absolutely phenomenal. My wife was extra excited to see some of her house plants growing in their natural environments and man were they huge. It is a great way to kill some of your day.

We went when it was too hot, go on a nice day, there are so many nice spots to chill. There's a cafe and gift shop. All the areas of the gardens were very nice. There are even people there to give you information about the display plants which I haven't found at many gardens

We were disappointed in that there were no mass flower plantings. There were more flowers in next door in Cheezman Park than at the Botanical Gardens.

Very pretty and well-maintained. Lots of beautiful plants to experience. I didn't appreciate the volunteers that hovered around me when I was resting on a bench or when I was browsing the gift shop. To be treated as a wasp among bees, how unpleasant!

This is one of my favorite botanical gardens I've been to. Be sure to have plenty of time to see everything!

Saw the Blossom of Lights display, which was amazing.

Always thoughtfully planned out with grace and beauty at any season.

Finally made it up to see the Botanic gardens and the Christmas lights. Absolutely worth the wait and the cold weather. Definitely a destination for Colorado residents and visitors. Bundle up!

Beautiful gardens! I was astounded by the sheer size, complexity, and fantastic landscaping! I especially love the seasonal Dia De Los Muertos and pumpkin displays! This was a great afternoon thing to do for me as a tourist! I wish I had had more time but there was a private event going on later in the afternoon

Very beautiful flowers and butterflies. The scenery was spectacular. I even saw a mother duck with 6 ducklings. Here are 5 of them.

The gardens are beautiful. I enjoyed being surrounded by plants and flowers. I allready want to go back and its been 4 days! Love it so much.

Their Christmas light evening program is Spectacular!

We came here for the blossoms of light and it was amazing I couldn't stop staring at all the different lights really good for autism

What a beautiful place to visit in early August. Everything was in prime condition.

Just breath taking natural beauty at it's finest no complains something you must experience in person the relaxation you get just from being there is awesome.

Beautiful place to be no matter the time of the year. No wonder it is still one of North Americas top 5 botanic gardens.

I love hanging here. I also take my girls here to play in the kids area. It's such a wonderful environment to be in.

Attended free day. It was very busy with strollers gallore. It was so beautiful it was worth being patient.

Very good place to go if you like plants and flowers. Not a good place if you like books, movies, reasonable prices, not being crowded, barbecue, bright lights, loud noises, power outlets, parking lots, flesh eating bees, unnecessarily large hats, small fidget spinners, large fidget spinners, medium sized fidget spinners, aquariums, the complete German alphabet, theme parks that are infested with flesh eating bees, flesh eating George Washington, slinky museums, pigs, Stephen King s The Mist , grammatical errors in google reviews, schools, capitalism, communism, socialism, extremely loud noises, running out of ideas, semi-extremely loud noises, commas, periods in place of commas. New sentences, jokes that go on too long, wondering if you used the wrong version of too, doing it for the local guide points, wondering how you will ever get to level ten local guide, spending to long on a google review, other various varieties of fidget spinners, flesh eating fidget spinners, gum ball dispensers, flesh eating google reviews, clocks, jokes that seriously go on too long/jokes where the writer should just stop, people who read this far into google reviews, flesh eating pineapples, and finally fish with too many teeth, but if you do like one of the things I have listed you should visit the flesh eating museum of flesh eating objects.

Awesome area to visit with amazing plants. Only issue i had was half of the place was closed down for two weddings. I was not warned at the ticket booth or offered a reduced rate.

Amazing to see the evolution of this place over the past 30 odd years...an amazing amount of consideration goes into the gardens here!!

had a great time at a event the Photo Booth Season was a hit.

blossoms of light festival at denver botanic gardens

Beautiful place. Has many different sections of various themes making you feel like you are entering different worlds. Very peaceful after a light summer's shower.

This was the best decision of day 1 of our vacation in Denver. Just seeing all of the wonderful plant life and the layout is fascinating. Would love to come back to visit again

Very beautiful but lots of people. Parking was also an issue.

This is a wonderfully taken care of garden and I hope it never goes out of business!

So many great unique gardens with interesting information to read. Will have to come back because we didn't have time to see all of it.

Went during winter at night. Huge attraction for good reason. Check it out and be sure to pick up the "3D glasses"

Important part of Denver, who would have thought it was the old Catholic cemetery!

Love this Garden, first went for their winter lights show and was very impressed. I appreciate their location being very central to Denver, and they have a few other locations and exhibits I'm excited to check out.

Always a treat. First time at the blossom light show. Really very well done. Epic in a word. Don't miss the interactive lights on the lawn. Cool.

Most things were inaccessible due to the pandemic precautions but they still charge full price for entry. Lots of littering and signs for plants were hard to see and poorly placed. Bring your wine, a blanket and stay for the day to get your money's worth.

The botanic gardens are amazing. It's different every season, there's lots of birds and pollinators, the membership is completely worth it and the food at the hive garden bistro is actually tasty if a bit overpriced. There are cute ducks in the conservatory. The botany library is public and really unique. The winter lights are great too.

Beautiful Gardens of every kind! It was a hot day, but there are many shaded areas to sit and enjoy the serenity of the gardens. I love the hummingbirds and butterflies.
The rose garden is outstanding! A great way to spend a morning or an afternoon.
The gift shop has some unique items.

Such a beautiful place! Free SCFD day...get out there!

A great place to visit while in Denver, parking can be a little pain in the butt however it's not enough to take a star.

The green house had lots of beautiful orchids and great gift shop

One of the best botanical gardens I have ever visited. Easy to stroll and lots to see. So many different varieties of plants and flowers. Can visit in different seasons to see different blooms. A must go see place and reasonable entrance fee with free parking. I definitely would visit again.

Beautiful garden with a plants from a variety of regions and climates. The orangerie is really neat and the science pyramid is great for both kids and adults.

The only negative is that the plants can be somewhat hard to distinguish without any pictures on the markers and a lot of things overlapping, but on the other hand the minimalist signage helps to keep things clean and aesthetic.

Overall, the garden was beautiful and we will definitely visit again.

I loveeeeeeee the Denver Botanic Gardens! Such a gem of Denver!! First time I went was in the summer when my friend was visiting from Florida. Beautiful grounds and the Japanese Water Garden was delightful!

So beautiful here! I usually go during the week to avoid the rush and evenings are often booked with private events, so try to make it before sundown if you're just out to have a nice walk looking at beautiful plants!

Allot of the plants were dead outside but the inside was amazing

Delightful during the holidays. Very well run and employees go out of their way to make certain that your experience is a positive one.

Very beautiful lot's and lots of flowers, tree's, plants,I saw a mouse, baby bunny, and lot's if butterflies, and of course bee's. Very intertaining. The cost was very reasonable I totally recommend this place. All thumbs up

I went to go see the Blossoms of Light. It was magical.

I was visiting the Denver area for work and was surprised by my local friends with tickets to the holiday light event here. Wow! I was blown away by everything they had on display. The lights were artistic and interactive. The hot chocolate was delicious. I enjoyed the entire evening and using Uber to get in and out saved all the parking problems.

A terrific collection of plants and related items to see at your leisure. The winter festival of lights is beautiful.

We were able to get some great photos at sunset. Due to Covid-19 some of the inside exhibits were closed.

In August everything in Texas is toast. Visiting the Denver Botannical Garden was such a treat! Truly it is a magical space, we spent hours exploring the massive location.

Its liKe an island of peacefull Heaven & serenity - which is surrounded by a sea of cHaotic confusion & an ocean of both urbanism & suburbanism

I was delighted with the year-end lighting and school choir performances on the grounds.

How can you not love it here? What an incredible break from the city. Nothing like enjoying the diversity of plants and flowers offered here week in week out

Beautiful gardens even in fall! Enjoyed walking though. Nice gift shop with unique items!

Beautiful representation of the various growing zones of Colorado in a peaceful atmosphere.
