Missouri Botanical Garden Review

Beautiful Christmas decorations and interactive sound stations around the gardens...

Gorgeous garden glow and smores by the fire .Great time

loved it so much .and it was a big place . you have to wear comfortable shoes and .I got lost looking for the Japanese garden . there is a kids section were you have to pay $5 for each kid .

What a beautiful place to enjoy an early morning. The colors are outstanding and the difference environments are awesome.

Great place to go to and spend the morning and afternoon.

Wow, this is an awesome place to visit with family and Kids. Good place for photo shoot. Parking available for free. There are different varieties of flowers and plants. Good learning center for kids. Kids park available inside and tickets can purchase inside. It is free for adults. Good outdoor photo shoot spot, definitely kids love this place. Huge garden.

I attended the Orchid Show and it was stunning. I had no idea what to expect and let me tell you, it was a show stopper. I enjoyed walking around, reading, learning and enjoying the many gorgeous orchid that were on display. An afternoon well deserving of your time to see them. Go, you will not be disappointed.

The pictures below are only a few of the many gorgeous orchid to look at. The name of the Orchid is posted first, then the Orchid itself to view. Enjoy!

Love this place next to the tropics of Jamaica it's greatest.

It was beautiful and definitely a good workout, but too much walking for my toddler and the train was packed the entire time we were there.

The orchid show was beautiful. The restaurant is delightful and reasonably priced.

Beautiful place to walk through I spent the entire day and only spent 8 dollars

Great place to bring our children to play. They have a great childrens section and with a friends and family membership it is included. Otherwise it is an additional fee. I personally like seeing what is blooming during a period that our property does not have any plants with blooms. Then I can figure out how to fill the void so I have interest in my yard as many months as possible.

Missouri's Botanical Garden is really big and beautiful. The people are not so nice. Once I was going to the Children's Garden and we asked a question about where the Chinese Garden was and she just ignored us! Most of the other people are really nice, but some aren t. I would highly recommend it still. It s gorgeous and I would give it a 4.5

This place is beautiful. Of course, it's all nature! Easy to walk through. The staff is really friendly. Parking is great.

A beautiful place to visit with wonderful staff and volunteers! We enjoyed the free 219th birthday celebration for Shaw and will definitely be back on another visit soon! Plenty of space to walk, family and stroller friendly, and restrooms available and easily accessible to all throughout. Also a free splash area in addition to the one in the children's garden and many children's activities offered!

I have been a member here for several years. I visit here to relax and connect with nature all the time. It is one of my favorite places to walk in Saint Louis all throughout the year. I love taking pics of the garden in all its blooming glory as it changes throughout the seasons. Excited about the remodel of the visitor center, which I believe will be a great addition. Can't wait for everything to be fully open in the future. A true gem to the St. Louis community. Come visit and I am sure you will not be disappointed. You will find a few surprises and maybe even a few hidden treasures if you look closely.

Worth it. Gardens are beautiful and tickets are cheap, $12 for an adult.

The covid regulations are overwhelming the beauty of the gardens. I wouldn't waste your money until after they start to chill out a bit. Huge sections were closed including all the buildings, so I'd see something cool, only to walk over and see that it was closed. Masks were required even outside in areas where there was no one else. All the water fountains were closed, but with no options nearby to purchase drinks, which on a hot day is a recipe for dehydration. I was really annoyed by the whole experience and felt that I couldn't enjoy the gorgeous gardens.

We love going here for all the different special events that they have throughout the year. They have a garden Glow during Christmas time as well as a garden Glow during the summer time! It's definitely best either go when it snowed in the winter time to see all the beautiful lights or if you're like we are we love to go in the springtime and see all the new plants flourishing and blossoming including the roads garden zen garden and different areas of the botanical gardens it's such a great temperate climate within the big dome! We love going there

Simply beautiful. Check out the Whitaker Music Festival on Wednesday during the summer, it's free!

I have had a membership here since 2009. I am never disappointed. This place is always amazing, even when it s crowded. Most of the events are pretty fun, too!

The spring flowering trees are amazing. The Cherry blossom & Magnolia being the most notable.

This garden has so much to offer. We went when about a third of the garden was closed d/t COVID-19 and renovations - I can't imagine how long it would have taken if we were able to go through the whole garden. I'll be back next Spring!

Absolutely amazing! If you are in St Louis you have to stop by! I proposed at this majestic establishment! Only tip for anyone taking wedding pictures here bring flats. Have observed to many young women killing their feet walking all over the gardens in large heels! haha

The gardens are breathtakingly beautiful. Around every curve there's a kaleidoscope of colors

Most items were not in bloom during our visit, but beautiful and well maintained gardens. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful, just beautiful flowers and plants of all kinds. A must see in St Louis. Try for a week day visit, gets crowded on weekends.

We went to the children's area. It's awesome. Rope Bridges, tree houses, music. Great for kids.

Staff was super friendly and the garden is breathtaking. We enjoyed our visit very much and will be back for the summer viewing.

This is one of St. Louis's finest attractions. It is beautiful year round and they have expanded the docket of events. Garden glow and the orchid show are two of our family's favorites. Unlike other St. Louis attractions, the gardens do cost money, but it is reasonable and memberships come with several perks including free guest passes.

One of the best Botanical Gardens to which I've been

One of the coolest places in STL! Grew up visiting the garden and now I work there so yes, I am biased.

Such an amazing place to take your kids. Check out their kids area, they have activities backpacks you can check out and help guide you and your kids through special lessons.

Acres and acres of interesting plants and the main building reminds me of being in a jungle. There are also historic houses in the same area. Loved it!

All the staff was very friendly. The whole garden grounds were beautiful and there s a few historic buildings on the grounds which were cool to see

One of St. Louis's greatest assets. Not to be missed

One of my favorite places in the whole world. Tied with City Museum for best place in Saint Louis, in my opinion. Always beautiful and well cared for, no matter the season.

Attention to detail is very obvious in the off season. Impressive even with limited flora.

Pandemic MBG is only better than not having any access to this wondeful space.

My arthritis prevents me from walking the full circle thru the Garden.
So, I boarded the tram intending to be dropped off at the furthest end of the garden.
When we arrived there I asked to disembark from the tram so I could take my time walking back to leave.
I was told they make no stops.

I understand in the time of Covid they don't want to have folks load into empty places on the tram once others have departed.
But I don't get not letting anyone off.

Lunch quiche costs the same as quiche plus salad in the past. I understand they wouldn't want to serve salad during these times.
But wish they could have included a bag of chips.

My visit became very limited to the range over which I could walk. I experienced only 20% of the pleasure I had always previously derived from being here.

Will have to think about returning.

It's always nice to visit, but I love it in spring when it's cool and everything is in bloom.

I confirm that it is one of the most beautiful botanical gardens. You can dream there ...

Beautiful, sprawling and full of pleasant pathways. Plan for a couple of hours at least.

I visited here on vacation, and it was much much bigger than I anticipated. There is an amazing variety of plants. The jungle environment in the Climatron is a must see.

A beautiful place. Easy parking close. Lunch there was very good and just a beautiful walk.

Awesome gardens, lots of great variety. Worth the trip if you are in town. The tickets are cheaper if you are a St. Louis resident. Also they host some free music events during the summer that is worth checking out. Parking can be a little tricky as it can get full quite quickly.

Very fun place to walk around. Great for kids and great for couples. A treat for those visiting st Louis.

Such a wonderful experience. Beautiful lights. Everyone is so friendly. Magical

The Garden Glow light display was wonderful. We had a great time.

Incredible. I have been amazed by every exhibition I've ever been to. The corpse flowers get a lot of attention when they are in bloom. The climatron is an ecosystem in itself.

Dress warm, beautiful light displays through the grounds. Some timed displays, different static displays, photo ops, and of course hot chocolate and adult beverages available.

We accidentally went during Japanese fest. Can't just access the gardens, and it was very pricey.

This was an amazing place to visit! You will need all day to see everything and the cafe was good.

Wonderful botanical gardens! Affordable and pleasant experience. Great place to spend an afternoon.

Seen advertising for evening event an drove 5 hours to find event isn't even on the venue. Wasted trip..

Always a beautiful place. I love this place so much I proposed to my girlfriend here! She said yes!!!

A lovely garden with a lot to see. This would take a full day to explore
