During cold season when the trees are sleeping, the botanical gardens are covered from head to toe in lights for the Blossoms of Light event. Grab a hot chocolate, and walk through this winter wonderland!
So beautiful! Very romantic setting and beautiful lights. Took about 45-60 min to walk through the lights.
Bigger than it looks, very nice grounds even on an early spring visit
This is a very beautiful place to visit with such a diverse collection of plants and flowers! It is also great to see so many Honey bees and hummingbirds around.
Went with family to the blossoms of light it was beautiful! There were lots of oohs and aahs it was super great place to spend some time with family just enjoying beautiful lights and scenery They were service dog friendly which is important for me! Parking was more than adequate even though it was very busy. The stores as expected were overpriced. The hot chocolate was delicious but pretty expensive which is to be expected add events and it this type of facility
It was a free day so of course it was fun worth it gave me time to spend with my family was up for vacation but there was really nothing to see due to it being cold and snowing outside all the plants were dead my best suggestion is to try early spring early summer
Went here on a free day and there are a lot of beautiful plants and it wasn't too busy but there were no cacti i was really looking for some and i wanted to purchase it there to help with the gardens funding but the 2 cacti i saw were poorly taken care of and crisp.
I love the gardens & The Hive cafe inside has delicious food!
That was very nice visual are but of course I have compared it to Missouri botanical gardens where I'm from and I'll give the Denver botanical gardens second place that dude check it out it is beautiful
Huge botanical garden with both indoor and outdoor spaces. Amazing variety of plant species all separated into respective regions. Even though it was late fall there was still plenty to see and do. Really want to go back in the spring to see the full gardens in bloom.
Beautiful and well curated. A great place to visit alone or with friends and family! A definite must do in Denver.
Had a wonderful time at the Botanical Gardens lights. I bought the glasses and it turned all the lights into candy canes.
Amazing botanical garden. Lots of outdoor exhibit areas.
Beautiful and lively. Well built and maintained. They have free days through out the year for fun family trips.
Most radiant and beautiful place ive been. the indoor tropical area was magnificent and the everything was set up very well ;)
Great gardens with knowledgeable staff. Check out the library and herbarium
Priced a little high, but I guess they have a lot of operating costs. The place is really beautiful in the middle of the city. There are a variety of plants. Choose to go during late august or early July. The indoor rainforest is my personal favourite among all the areas there
The gardens are nice but they are not policing masks needing to be worn or social distancing although the signs are everywhere. Security walks thru talking to unmasked people and staff and workers similarly do not police people who have masks down with nose uncovered or around their necks or non existent. They should be ashamed of themselves!!!!! If you are at any higher risk... strongly advise to avoid this place.
DBG is doing an incredible job opening, with restrictions, to the public. The gardens look exquisite, hats off to all the staff who have made our experiences so wonderful!
Wonderful place to walk around. Not huge,but a great selection of plants. Love their exotic plant sale once a year!
This place is so darn amazing, I will visit it every time I come to Denver from now on. It goes on for acres and acres and the staff are wonderful as well as the scenery.
Beautiful venue you could hear the music all throughout the gardens.
Wait I've never reviewed this place? Maybe because I don't want to share it. I'm here regularly. 2 or 3 times a week during the warmer seasons. This is my happy place.
There are some days where it is free to enter. Can spend 3-5 hours just walking around here. Very nice for a free attraction or is probably worth the price of admission.
Beautiful Gardens. Love the juxtaposition of city and gardens. Also, the concert series are fun and worth attending.
The gardens were absolutely beautiful. I was sad that "Stinky" the corpse flower had already closed back up but regardless there was tons to see. I couldn't believe there were bonsai trees over 250 years old, that was amazing to me.
Beautiful!!! And it has so many different landscapes and plant types. It's a gorgeous place to visit for a relaxing day out.
Nice walk and beautiful grounds. Parking is terrible. We drove around for 30 minutes searching for a spot.
Love this place. Japanese Gardens is my favorite. It is so peaceful.
Very cool and interesting even during winter we had a good time
Such an amazing collection of trees and flowers in Denver! I love going to the botanical gardens with my family and looking at the different species! I also love the Blossoms of Light -- such an amazing sight to see. Definitely worth the visit
Lovely place. Visited for the Day of the Dead celebration and saw Aztec dancing.
Great when you get in, bundle up and don't waste time in the parking garage
A marvelous place to visit any time of year. My recent visit with friends was no exception. With heat and dryness growing all around us, the garden's examples of dry planting and landscaping are more and more valuable!
Gorgeous! I can't wait to come back.
Parking can be a little rough.
Awesome! And we were lucky enough to go on the free day.
Great place to walk and check out all of the amazing plants,flowers,and art
I loved the paths. It's a beautiful place to visit to learn about plants and trees, or to simply relax.
we went to the winter light show at night, really beautiful but oh so cold was hard to get through it! !! perhaps more indoor sights would be better for the winter but it was spectacular. make sure you pick up the 3d glasses
Just visted for the first time & had a wonderful time. Can't wait to go back over the holidays!
Beautiful and sometimes they have some really cool events, check their calendar
You can't go wrong here with the family, a date or even alone.. Beautiful day of colors, scents and strolls. Highly recommended!
The botanic garden here is excellent. My wife and I visit many on our travels, and this one is near my favorite. The facilities have seen significant investment and improvement over the past few years, and it looks fantastic. Service at their cafe (on the 5th of July) was slow enough to be frustrating. It took maybe 20 minutes to make it through the line.
It was a cold, rainy spring day and yet it was such a wonderful experience. The gardens are so creative and unique. They are an inspiration for anyone who has an interest in trees, flowers, shrubs, or grasses. Would love to go back.
The most beautiful gardens I've been to. Gorgeous even in the beginning of November.
One of the most beautiful places on earth. Absolutely lovely.
Nice place to spend a weekend. Plant lovers and botanists might enjoy it more than anyone else. It could get quite boring if you are not in mood to learn about hundreds of plants.
It had been over 20 years, since we last visited the Denver Botanic Gardens, just off of Cheesman Park since we moved to Phoenix. While visiting in July, we took advantage of some beautiful weather, and returned.Though much had changed in two decades, it was still like visiting an old friend, as there were still some aspects, which were familiar to us. My wife probably spent more time there, than I ever did, as she attended many events there, and loved the little store which has expanded greatly.So much was still in bloom, though Summer had come to the Rockies, but on the day we visited, the weather was actually slightly cool much better than what we had left behind in Phoenix.The place was beautiful, and matched the weather perfectly.We plan to return to Denver with greater regularity, and hope to get back for some of the seasonal displays. Just a great visit.
Friends told me best ever they went last year u really went overboard congrats great time
Great venue for garden walks, sculpture, and light lunches
The Denver Botanical Gardens is truly a gift to my soul. I forget where I am when I enter. Even the gift store is esquisite. I have so few pictures because of its beauty that I forego picture-taking. See it to believe it.
Great botanical gardens with lots to see. I recommend seeing the Japanese gardens. There are nice sculptures scattered in the park.
Highly recommend any time of the year. I ve been numerous times and it s so gorgeous; definitely a gem of Denver s activities!
Lots to see there. Great for families. I love the indoor tropical exhibits.
Beautiful gardens, so much variety, so well maintained. Very highly recommend this place!
Probably the best botanical gardens I've ever been to. I thought about just hiding in the bushes somewhere and staying forever.
Calming and pretty. Wished was I
Open during evening hours.
The walk in the holiday lights was breathtaking. I loved it.
Very pretty displays. Can only imagine what it looks like and smells like in full bloom.
Beautiful, well taken care of, with so many different themes.
Much an amazing garden. Love getting lost here it so beautiful i never wanna look away
