Good food, quick service
Burgers are good. The bacon compliments most of the taste though, so that depends on how you like your bacon. Chocolate shake was the best part as it was made with fudge. Fries are always in abundance here, fresh cut and tasty. Overall a good meal.
Loved my experience here at the gardens. Amazing light show at night. Employees were friendly, professional and quite knowledgeable about various questions. Thank you for taking care of these beautiful plants and continuing their livelihood.
Has an amazing collection and there is so much to see! We saw some cute little bunnies hopping around too. I would visit if in Denver area.
Love this place. Even in the winter it's amazing and the spring and summer months are spectacular.
Sadly, they aren't immune from the current plague of Asian Beetles. Many of the plans and flowers were infested. That said, everything was in bloom and super green.
Beautiful gardens! Lots to see! Parking garage across the street.
Amazing botanical garden with huge variety of botany! A must see in Denver!
So much to see and learn here. Next time I am going to spend a full day here not just a few hours
I love going every year for the Blossoms of Light event. This year has been the best by far! It is so much bigger and I love how they have mixed it up instead of seeing the same thing every year like at the Zoo. Grab a hot chocolate, pair of magic specs and take a walk to see the beautiful lights! So much fun for the whole family! The gingerbread men specs this year were great. Looking forward to next year!
Easily the most beautiful botanical garden I've ever been to. My favorite is the Japanese garden.
Great place to walk and enjoy nature. Great indoor terrarium.
Such beautiful flowers and routes, it was a lovely experience!
Wow, beautiful gardens, with wonderful sights everywhere. All the flora and fauna were well cared for and maintained. Lots of varieties of plants and trees that were a treat to view, and numerous picture taking opportunities. Pretty large place, so set aside a couple of hours at least to get through it all! Worth it! There is pretty good parking available across the street either at street level, or in a parking garage below street level.
Outstanding lights display.. wonderful for the entire family
The plants are cool, and the kid section is entertaining for pre-K-3rd grade. Compared with other botanical gardens in large cities, this one is good in its own way: Maybe 3 stars for botany, and 4 for kids.
Seriously, this is my favorite place in Denver. I live in Capitol Hill and it's great that I can easily walk here whenever I want.
We got a Friends and Family membership (around $100) that has more than paid for itself. It lets in me, my SO, and 4 other people at a time, EVERY TIME. We also have a key-fob and can go in through the Cheesman Park gate. It is so convenient.
The gardens are beautiful and highlight some of the amazing plants that are native to this region. Every garden is well maintained and there is always someone available to tell you more if you are interested. There are two great cafes on site (though one is only open during the warmer seasons).
They always have something cool going on and their tour guides are well-informed and very friendly.
I think it's definitely worth a trip (or twenty).
This is a must to spend time at. Even at the end of the summer lots of flowering thing. One of the best Botanical Gardens in the USA !
I was there for a wedding and I also was able to enjoy much of the beginning elements are the botanical gardens. Lovely atmosphere and it is definitely great for special occasions.
Beautiful grounds and tranquil place to spend an afternoon. Some spots make you forget you're in the middle of the city.
No parking anywhere, completely crowded and the people where rude.
Beautiful, although the roses haven't bloomed yet! There are plenty of other plants and flowers that have. The gift shop has great things too!
I stopped by to Denver Botanic Gardens during the Spring and remember enjoying walking around the botanic garden. I can imagine it being hot during the summer but there are plenty of indoor spaces for those looking to catch a break from the heat. There is also a cafe for those looking to get something to eat/drink. I spent about 2 hours here--the garden is broken into different themes/regions (e.g. Gardens of the West, Internationally Inspired Gardens, Ornamental Gardens, etc.) so there is something for everyone. There is also a Chihuly sculpture worth checking out near the front entrance at the Ornamental Gardens area.
For students, remember to bring your ID for a ticket discount (you'll end up shelling $9 which is worth it).
Excellent. Winter isn't the best time to go here, but it wAs still a good time
It was our first time visiting, we loved it!!!
The colors of the lights on the trees, beautiful
Great place to spend the day alone or with a friend.
It was an amazingly beautiful day! 10/10
We saw a bird scoop a koi right out of the pond and eat it whole. I'm rating today a posthumous 0/10 for the .
lot to see for garden lovers. this place is massive, good restaurant and services, very disable friendly.
Love the gardens and the Bistro Restaurant. The staff in the gift shop is outstanding. Please add more parking.Please!!
The wildlife lets you get way close because people do a good job of leaving them alone, theres plenty of opportunities to act like a dork, and everything is super photogenic, even if it comes out a little pixelated. ;P ;D
Definately coming back. I'm sad it took a free day to get me to check it out in the first place. If you have a camera you will spend ALL day there. We kept heading toward the exit and then finding a new pathway and it took us over an hour just to leave (for real this time. Okay, this time. No, I mean it. Alright we've made it to the gift shop... XD)
Very beautiful in the winter highly recommend going there
We went for Blossoms of Light on January, and it was absolutely worth facing the cold. The light displays are just extraordinary. They don't overbook so there is plenty of space to wander around without it being too crowded. Make sure to book in advance, as tickets sell out around the holidays.
Pretty incredible space. The grounds are immaculate, the food is excellent and the ambience is extremely relaxing. You can grab some coffee and a pastry from the cafe and wonder around the grounds or grab dinner at the restarting surrounded by water lilies. Covers many international plants, local West desert plants and tropical varieties as well.
We happened to visit while the corpse flower was blooming and it was phenomenal! The gardens in general provide for a wide variety of vegetations and fauna variety. I was a little disappointed that multiple gardens were closed for special events, and felt like I spent a good bit of effort having to dodge professional photographers of wedding parties, or parties standing in walkways waiting their turn for photos. I would recommend checking the gardens out, but be ready for special events to take priority over visitors.
Great time for the whole family. There's plenty of beautiful plants and flowers and a children's area. Also events and exhibits are nice.
An oasis of calm. Many different areas are very well maintained.
A lovely place to visit with family and enjoy the outdoors easily can spend 2-3 hours walking the grounds. The layout of the garden has such a variety of plants and florals all organized well with plenty of benches and seating areas throughout. The tropical environment building was setup uniquely with 3 levels of walking routes and the chance to see exotic plants. Did get pretty busy as the day got later, so was glad we went earlier in the morning.
The line to get in was very long but moved quickly. Hot chocolate was yummy and served at the perfect temp at a reasonable price.. $4 for a large. Displays were beautiful. My only gripe would have to be the funneling of everyone in one direction. While I understand why they do it, it causes congestion in many areas and a feeling of being rushed so you don't hold up the people behind you. Would definately recommend though. We went on a Saturday night at 5. When we left at about 8 the line was about half the length. Next year we go later or try a weeknight.
Beautiful even in winter, educational and super fun, my fiance proposed to me here.
Place has lots to view it is a mist see while in Denver would definitely do it again price was $12.50 per adult they have have a restaurant on site if you want to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the scenery
So happy we got to venture here while we traveled Colorado. We definitely will be back soon.
Beautiful scenery, great people, and fun activities to do! I go here about twice or 3 times a month and I never get tired of it.
You could spend all day here. So beautiful, and very well kept up. Any staff member you pass by is always willing to tell you what they know about certain plants.
One of my favorite places in the whole world I could live here
Fantastic place. We visit almost every time we are in town!
One of the best, this botanical garden is beautiful and very interesting
Lovely garden on a beautiful day. It was very busy. It was helpful to have tickets already purchased - saved significant time in line.
The botanic gardens are gorgeous with a number of different segments each with unique terrain and plantings. I'm told it has an international reputation. We went in a mild sprinkling of rain and had the whole place to ourselves. Just being there is a meditation. Treat yourself to some beauty and serenity.
great botanic with a lot of variety in the ecosystems they display while still teaching a lot about the local landscape. The outdoor cafe has good variety on the menu and even better ambiance.
Nice place to walk around during the summer. Try to aim for when the flowers are blooming.
This place is great! It's very relaxing to stroll the grounds and check out plants and wildlife. They do a fantastic job of having things to see all year round. Plenty of indoor and outdoor activities.
very beautiful here well worth the trip and price ^_^
If you're into setting foliage, couples and amateur photographers, this is the place for you. Otherwise there's not much to it
Always a great time for the whole family! Awesome Oasis in downtown Denver.
Beautiful place with gorgeous flowers! My only complaint is lack of bathrooms around the gardens. But, I still highly recommend!
This was a very cool stop on my vacation. I didn't know what to expect, but it was well worth the few hours that were spent here. It was under a lot of renovations, which was disappointing, but still enjoyable.
Highly recommend visiting if you are visiting Denver. I would recommend going in the spring or summer since the outdoor gardens will be in full bloom. We went on a nice day in January so we got to explore the outdoor gardens but it was not nearly as beautiful as none of the plants were in bloom, but it was still nice to walk around the property. If you are visiting Denver, I would recommend looking into purchasing the Denver CityPASS, which will give you access to various attractions at a reduced rate. We did this and went to the Botanical Gardens, the Nature and Science Museum and the Aquarium.
Visited in December and there was nothing outdoor to see because almost all of trees were dead. Still had to pay full admission fees as any other time of the year.
I love the continual evolution of these beautiful gardens
