Become a member- you won t regret it! We love coming here and to the Chatfield location to take a break from our crazy lives and just slow down to enjoy cool plants!

Plants and people that care enough to look at them share at beauty and a relationship with something other than animals

The most amazing Botanical Garden I have personally been to. Can't believe the size of the place and the flowers are spectacular

This place was so beautiful and amazing. I love this place. Also the volunteer employees were really nice and helpful. I needed a wheelchair and one of the volunteer employees brought it for me. Thanks to management team.

The family garden is always a fun place for kids to learn and explore. The kids especially love all of the water features and the river!

I went to the Botanic Gardens earlier tonight to see the Blossoms of Light. It was a wonderful experience! I d recommend splurging and getting hot chocolate before you start the walk - it ll be worth it!

A wonderful place to visit in the summer, but it also has a lot to see in the winter because of the greenhouse and sculptures.

Love the Denver botanic gardens! A great place to visit any time of year.

A great place to explore, ticket cost $9 dollars for student and $15 for adult. We spent almost 4 hours i there during winter. The Japanese Zen Garden really surprised me. Pay close attention to detail during the visit in the Garden and you won t regret.

Beautiful gardens with a family oriented atmosphere. The Christmas/holiday lights are absolutely stunning but if you are going I recommend bringing a jacket and gloves. The food and refreshments are a bit on the expensive side so if you are planning on eating here, bring some extra cash. This place can get crowded depending on when you go, so choose a time wisely. I would recommend going on a day when kids are in school, as this is a popular family destination. This is one of my favorite destinations in Denver and it is very close to Colfax, which is a very unique area that I suggest you visit. Try it out!

It's a great place to take a stroll through to admire and enjoy such beautiful plants and flowers

So beautiful and perfect to walk around in. We ended up going when it was a free day and even in the drizzle, it was fun to walk through.

This place is just so beautiful and peaceful. We love to go early in the morning when they first open and walk around. My toddlers pick which direction to go and they love discovering what is hiding behind the next turn. The paths are big enough for my double side by side stroller and smooth enough we don't run into any places the stroller gets stuck. We can bring in drinks and snacks which makes it one of the perfect places for us to spend a morning!!

Impressive, and a spot of much needed tranquility even in winter! Also, odd as it sounds, their gift shop is singularly fun to explore (as far as gift shops go).

Brilliant place for a remarkable walking mtg. Must do on a regular basis!

We always love visiting here several times a year. Parking during any event is a nightmare. That's the only reason for the -1 star.

Loved the whole experience! Amzing and wonderfull all in one!

One of the best places to go for a leisurely stroll in Denver

Awesome place to go. Well maintained and a sight for your eyes

This place is really a jewel of Denver. The flowers and exhibitions are top quality. I never miss going here when I am in Denver. Truly a must see...

This is one of the nicest botanical gardens I've ever seen. You can easily spend all day there and not see the entire thing. I'll definitely check it out again if I'm ever back in Denver.

Went to see the Chris Botti concert there. Awesome venue...fantastic concert

Beautiful gardens! They usually have other sculpture shows going on. Go for a relaxing walk. Only $12.50 entrance fee for adults

I LOVE the Denver Botanic Gardens! It is an absolute gem; a beautiful, serene oasis situated amidst the urban landscape. There's nothing like grabbing a coffee at the cafe and strolling the gardens for hours - so peaceful and lovely. Be aware, things can get crowded at peak times or around special events. Overall, one of my favorite destinations in Denver; a place I always reccomend, whether you're from the Mile High or just visiting.

I love this place. It has always been such a fun place to go even when I was a kid.

Wonderful green haven within the city! Parking was easy, it wasn't too crowded, and they offer a student discount. (We went around 2pm on a Tuesday in May.) The bonsai area and the indoor rainforest areas were probably my favorites. Benches and seating throughout. Also make sure to check out the gift shop! Even if you don't buy anything, it's a pretty cool selection of pottery, hand-crafted goods, jewelry, scarves, books, kids toys. (You don't have to pay for a ticket to go to the gift shop part.)

Don't go here until mid summer, that's when it's it's most beautiful. Not expensive, open during covid 19, I love this place so much

BEAUTIFUL! Flowers are just starting to peak out! Can't wait until full bloom! Clean and very friendly!

Great variety of tropical plants within the green house but everything else was dry as I visited in December. It is nice for kids and family to walk around have some fun along with some useful learning.

Make sure you have enough time before they close because there is a lot to look at. It s beautiful would go again!

The gardens are beautiful! I could spend hours there!

Only complaint is that they have private greenhouses that people can't see but I understand.

Beautiful and relaxing. Really big, you can spend a lot of time here. Lots to see.

We went to ghost in the gardens tour for Halloween. It was a fun time...didn't see any ghost =( but had an awesome guide. Johnathon was so enthusiastic and shared his knowledge of the gardens through stories he even semi-acted out the prior encounters=) the tour was at night so what I got to see was limited but still beautiful. The paths are extra wide and easily navigated. I saw several benches and photo opportunities and all the staff I encountered are great. Jonathon's knowledge and all the great vstories definitely have me planning another trip in the spring. Hopefully after the daytime visit I can edit my review to 5 stars.

Lots and lots of beautiful botanics. Interesting learning experiences and visually appealing for pictures.

Wonderful experience plants from all over the world. I suggest going in the spring time it's BEAUTIFUL

Blossoms of Light display was very nice. We went during a time when it wasn't busy but it was still hard to find parking. Plan on having parking issues. Everything else was lovely, highly recommended.

Very pretty even without flowers in bloom! Lots of areas to walk or just sit. We enjoyed it so much we put our tickets we purchased toward a membership.

Loved the gardens. I want to come back when the temperatures are cooler. It is laid out so wonderfully by regions. I could spend all day here. Leave yourself plenty of time so you don't miss anything. The gift shop was amazing. Purchased a beautiful air plant. Wonderful place to take pictures.

I truly enjoyed my time spent in this beautiful garden.

Amazing array of specimen from many diverse biomes. Go early before it gets too hot.

This is a truly world-class botanical gardens, and I've visited a few!

I felt very comfortable with social distancing and mask wearing. They are doing a great job!

So beautiful and peaceful to walk through. The Blossom of Lights is so pretty and really well done.

Great staff and informative. Lots to see and very clean

This is a wonderful and magical place. So many beautiful plants and this place is a perfect place for a nice walk. There are also themes for the seasons like lights on the plants for Christmas and a Halloween theme in the fall. A perfect place for a date with that special someone. A must do in Denver so please go check this place out.

Ok. Place to walk around .. I was hoping to see more of a selection of flowers. Overall it was a peaceful place.

SO BEAUTIFUL! We strolled for hours!! So lucky to have caught your tulip garden in bloom...stunning. Can't wait to return!

I was there for over 2 hours and still didnt see it all. The food is way over priced bu t the gardens are amazing especially the sensory garden where you use all 5 senses

An absolutely beautiful display with and likely without lights. We just did the Blossoms of Light. I highly recommend this. It sells out so quickly, so keep your eyes peeled.

Beautiful gardens and amazing staff! Great place to go for an escape from winter! Also try the cafe!

Nice, but mediocre compared to many other botanic gardens.

One of the easiest peaceful days to be had in Denver! Such a beautiful place!

Beautiful Gardens, great place to destress. Best on a weekday afternoon when they are less crowded.

Beautiful grounds. Relaxing place to spend an afternoon.

Charming place. Good to spend the whole day alone or with the family.

Absolutely beautiful and calm place to spend the day! We hung out in the children's garden and it is a wonderful and safe space for littles of all ages to enjoy.

Beautiful outdoor light display and friendly staff.

Cool botanical garden, tons of flowers, wish there was better continuity in the design but overall a cool place to spend a few hours.

Great Christmas light show will be going back next year

This is a must see in the Denver area! The gardens are extensive so be sure to leave plenty of time for your visit.

Exquisite gardens! A lovely way to spend a nice afternoon. I would recommend to visitors!

Bueatiful, n a good walk, parking is a little frustrating to find.

Even though the season is slow to bloom the place had lovely gardens and was stillcenjoyable walkingcthe grounds.
