Beautiful and relaxing. The gardens are always changing and new exhibits keep it interesting. Check out the concerts as well, there are frequently some gems that stop in for an intimate show.

Love the gardens. In addition to getting married here, we visit at least five times per year. It s gorgeous year round with their Glow event in the fall and Christmas light display in the winter. June-October is my favorite time of the year to visit, but with their changing art installations, you really can t go wrong visiting at any time of the year. They ve completed a great deal of renovations in the last five years as well. There s a great indoor cafe option as well as an outdoor eating area. The big grassy area towards the front of the gardens is great for the outdoor concerts as well as an area for little ones to stretch their legs and where we typically sit to have a snack.

The kids area on the opposite side, next to the parking garage (Mordecai gardens) is fantastic in the summer. Has a sand pit, a little river with bridges, a rock structure with drawbridge and a big pond at the bottom of the children s area. perfect for toddlers and kids to explore for a couple hours.

The gardens is by far my favorite place in Denver!

I was there for my college class. It is a lovely place to be. Be sure to bring your own water, maybe food and an umbrella. The food can be expensive but that is expected.An umbrella will help block the sun and possible rain.

Gorgeous winter light show! I haven't been there in the summer but the light show in wintertime is stunning and well worth the cold! I highly recommend this stop on any winter trip to Denver. I'm sure it's beautiful in summer too! :)

Very beautiful and serene, we went in early spring before the outdoor gardens we're in full bloom but it was still very lovely. I can't wait to go back when the weather is warmer and everything is in bloom.

My favorite place to visit again and again in Denver. I could come here every day. The biodiverse planting is amazing and the staff, library, classes, and other resources are a bonus.

Last week we had hail, but the gardens were still fabulous. They have added water features in many places, so streams, fountains, and ponds greet you along the paths. Check to make sure a concert or event doesn't ruin your plans, unless you were savvy and are attending. They have a beautiful venue for outdoor events. Easy, flat walks and wheelchair accessible.

Having been both in the summer and for the winter holiday lights, we've had nothing but good experiences at the Denver Plant Zoo (yes, that's what we call it). The spaces are always well cared for - the plants (or lights depending on the time of the year) are absolutely beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful. We also enjoy watching the wildlife and checking out any of the educational programs they have available. Frequently the parking garage seems full, but we always manage to find a few spots available.

Lovely!

Beautiful place. When my brother with his family came to Colorado, it was one of the places I wanted to show him. We had a really good time here strolling and watching well-maintained garden plants. It was Saturday and we saw a few weddings. Great place for photo session. Would highly recommend visiting!

The Botanical gardens are an awesome place for a family day with lots of plant life from around the world! Some areas might be closed for events, so Its worth checking the availability before you go.

Love!

We made a last-minute decision to take advantage of the free day, and despite the crowds, we had a great time! This was almost the best time of the year for the Japanese Tea Garden. The bonsai were one of my favorite exhibits, but the funny thing is that in the 20-odd years of coming here, I've yet to see the tea house actually open for tea!
Still had a great time, though.

This was my first time at the Denver Botanic Gardens. I attended with my parents for the Christmas lights show.

I have to say that it was MAGICAL.

For the time you are there, you will forget that you are in the middle of the city. During parts of it, it even felt like being far, far away in some Magical light filled Christmasy enchanted mountain place.

My description seems a little far fetched. But if you go to the Christmas light show, you will understand.

highly disappointed! Paid for ticket to see the most of exhibits are closed for privated event. If you close for privated event then why charged for ticket. Waste of money and time for nothing. Not recommend!!!
