Helen Fowler Library Denver Botanic Gardens Reviews

Beautiful. The staff was really friendly and the garden's are awesome.

Plants were a little on the pricier side, which I could have handled as the $ goes to DBG. Quite unfortunately, I planted a tree purchased at the sale, and then we had a snowstorm. There was no one at the DBG to speak to, so I called Pat Hayward, the Executive Director of Plant Select, since it was a plantselect tree, and I wanted to know how to care for it so it wouldn't crack. She laughed AT me, asked me why I had planted it, then proceeded to chide me ("You knew the storm was coming!"). I didn't know, actually - had been dealing with another emergency and not watching the news. No thanks for buying plant select, no empathy, just laughing and chiding. How incredibly unprofessional. I will never buy another tree at the sale.

It was beautiful, just like the love of my life who walk through it with me

Tickets are gone fast, be sure to get one before you arrive.

Massive estate, indoor and outdoor gardens with different art exhibits

Great place. The conservatory is particularly nice, with lots of rainforest plants, a multi-level series of platforms in a tree, and even some ducks. There is a waterfall that is nice to read by. There is a level of membership that will get you and a guest in - of you think you'll be bringing visitors here even just a couple of times, it'll quickly pay itself off.

Beautiful! So green and lush after all the rains! So much hard work to make it happen...sculptures are nice too

beautiful gardens with loads of info on plaques along the paths

One of the best botanical gardens that I've ever been to. I really like the rose gardens and the black water. If you're having a bad day, this place will cheer you up!

The Denver Botanical Gardens are wonderful. I went for the first time in 20 years and it was so worth it. I noticed there was a pretty reasonable mix of folks, both young and old. The amphitheatre was a great place to go and take a nap in the sun, lots of benches to sit, and lots of wonderful plants to look at.

Beautiful way to share a sunny day with someone you cherish.

Went with mom loved it, come when its warmer outside so you get the full view

I love coming here! It's so relaxing to spend an afternoon being around the beautiful flowers and gardens. It can get quite busy on the weekends, so I would recommend trying to go during the week if you can!

So. Beautiful. So much for so many interests. If you like walking, this place has a lot of it. You can probably get 1.5-2 miles out of it. The Japanese garden was great and the koi fish we're so big. They follow you around too! The Pixel art exhibit was ok, sort of out of place but the Gnome and Deer made me laugh. Memberships are reasonable and considering how much space there is you can find a nice spot for a picnic or to read or whatever.

The perfect place to spend a sunny day over the weekend. I take my family there as much as I can and this place never gets old. Every time we go there we see new views, new blossoms, like breathing new air.

Beautiful gardens! We love walking them in the different seasons. Wonderful place to relax.

Beautiful place to visit. You can get lost here for hours. Beautiful arrangements of flowers

Beautiful, well maintained. A lot of shade. Cafe is very expensive. Take your own food in. It's allowed & plenty of benches in the shade.

Great to visit during the winter for the amazing lights. It is the best holiday lights out there!

Beautiful and not many people there for a friday afternoon/evening. Very peaceful.

Be prepared to walk for up to an hour. Beautiful light display!

Love the atmosphere, enjoy the beauty and its always clean

Indoor and outdoor gardens, indoor and outdoor restaurants, sloped grassy area for kids to run and roll, and quiet trails through woodsy areas... A great place to find both grandiose and miniature forms of beauty in nature.

So beautiful. Food at the cafe is delicious. Great selection at the gift shop. Peaceful, gorgeous, and well-run.

Very refreshing and relaxing place, it is incredible to take a walk and forget about work

Super pretty, very clean. Big open space/hill for kids to run around. Lots of water fountains for drinking (we were unprepared and didn't bring water!). Parking was a pain because it was super crowded, but the gardens didn't feel crowded at all.
We loved it! Lots to look at!
