Quad City Botanical Center Review

Enjoyed the variety of plants, which are well identified.

Was here for the holiday light display. Absolutely gorgeous location with so much to offer.

We always have a great time here. Thanks for the wonderful time at the "Not so Scary" Halloween Walk

Beautiful. Great place to spend the day with lil ones!

It is always a beautiful place to come and explore. Today it was the unusual orchids!

We went to the orchid show here at the botanical center and it was very good. Lots of orchid and orchid related products available for sale.

This place is very simply beautiful. It is very accommodating to different events. This is my first time being inside. It is quite the experience.

First time here, greaelt place for a family photo shoot. The girl at the front desk was very accommodating. Will definitely be back again to shoot photos.

This is a beautiful facility. The children's garden area is great with lots of activities. Several student tours were going on and the staff was great with the classes. Make sure to buy fish food, they're hungry!

Nice place to visit with friendly staff. Love the outdoor model train yard..

Very cool to see all the plants and the trains are awesome

Very well manicured. Its a fun to visit to see the exotic foliage

Extremely well-kept gardens and sun room. If memory serves me right, it was ~$5-6 per adult to get in. Don't make this a day trip or a big part of your vacation, however. Although it is a beautiful sight to see and walk through, you can only spend about 20-25 minutes max here. Past the main gardens, they also have a very large area dedicated to children with a small water park area and plenty of things to play with.

Overall, I'd say the Botanical Center is an extremely gorgeous place to visit once or twice a year and has the whole family in mind.

This place is well maintained and interesting for all ages. The plants are beautiful and they have a variety of fun hands-on activities for kids of all ages. I can't wait to see how fun the outside area is this summer!

Very beautiful light display! Our family enjoyed it

I took a class there. Plenty of room, used a screen so everyone could see. Instructor was very knowledgeable. The gardens are extremely cared for and absolutely beautiful.

Best during down times without lots of guests, but a fun place for kiddos!

Beautiful center and very friendly staff. One of my favorite locations in the qc.

Love this place. Fun for the whole family. Great events all year.

It definitely does not hurt that I love plants as much as I do but this location and Botanical Center was wonderful! All of the exhibits were densely populated with a vast array of different species. I was also impressed with the children's area that is located outside. You know I took home some plants! They were only a few dollars for the little ones in their gift shop. Loved it here!

Really awesome Christmas lights. Definitely worth going to see

Gift shop has really awesome gifts. The tropical atrium is incredible as well. Such a cool sight to see

Fun place to visit, so many plants as well as art exhibits to see. Friendly and helpful staff.

This is a nice little spot, almost hidden. I don't think enough people know about this place. But it is beautiful and a really nice place for kids. I think the new little water features will be excellent for kids this summer. Great little gem.

This was an excellent location for recent family portraits. The employees were friendly and welcoming to everyone in the family, and the (young) kids had a ball feeding the coy. We held the shoot during the very early spring in the greenhouse, and I'll be going back this summer to see the gardens.

Beautiful set up, the lady working the front desk was very kind & helpful

We love being member they always have something for they kids. On the weekends and during the summer. They have a splash area, sand area, plenty of things for the kids to play. My kids really like going hear. You can buy fish food up front and feed the fish inside and out side. Dont forget they have scavenger hunt too. They have a train area out side that really cool my son loves. They have a cute littlle gift shop. I really recommend a member ship.

It was so relaxing. Educational. We enjoyed the kids area too

Change your phone message to tell people when you're closed for holidays!

Great botanical garden! Perfect for all events! Great staff! The garden is very well up kept. Always seasonal events happening. Best place for a wedding by far!

All of these reviews are spot-on. In January they usually bring a truckload of sand in for kids to play in the Sun garden. Bonus!

Really enjoyed our visit! We could have easily stayed longer in the children s garden, but we were hungry for lunch. We are so glad we utilized the kids scavenger hunt sheet and educational backpack for my nephews. It gave us a reason to look closer for specific animals and plants! Definitely recommend for families to visit!

The quad city botanical center was really nice. As you walk in the door they also have plants in the corner for sale, as well as order forms to buy plants to pick up (by April 20 though)! Really pretty plants and flowers to just appreciate at the center while you visit though

Always a wonderful experience! More times than not I leave with a new plant.

Very nice place to take a little time and relax. The garden area is a great place to walk through and enjoy nature at it's pinnacle.

Beautiful place. Lot's of neat things for kids to do. So happy I went.

Our daughter got married at the Botanical Gardens. It's such a beautiful place to have a wedding. They were so helpful. Dining was great! A fun evening!

Supercool place, all plants around the world under one roof. I liked the sun garden entrance.
Host syndii is such an angel. All staff is very friendly and helpful. Nice place for celebrating all sorts of family functions. I was fortunate to get chance to witness Mexican wedding on my visit.
Special mention of koi fishes, they are adorable. Dont miss to buy food for them and so that they will showcase their skills.

Amazing place. The greenhouse walkthrough is something very memorable with various different plantlife and informative pieces.

We really enjoyed the Christmas walk with our grandson.

V had a nice experience.. the lighting arrangements were awesome n mindblowing.. also there were craft works for kids..

went for the light display and it was a great family night out with gorgeous sights!

Loved the date night event!! Gave us a little bag with goodies. Very safe. Such a good idea to get people out.

For personal or family visiting, it has many interesting plants, flowers and trees, and several other things of interest. I don't live near here. I was here for a relative's celebration of their anniversary, done at this Botanical Center. There were 40-60 people at this event (I don't know what their people limit is). The staff here did a great job. It was extremely nice.

A quad cities gem. The splash area, while still a work in progress, is great for the kids. One of favorite places to go to fight the winter blahs. A tranquil little oasis

I like walking in the garden with my family. It is very quiet and beautiful. I often take my children go here to organize some interesting games. It is made my children very happy.

Loved this place. My grandchildren really enjoyed feeding the fish.

We love coming here in the winter and pretending it's Spring! The indoor area is a reasonable size with a couple of benches to hang out on. The fish are also fun to watch/feed. I've only been here in the winter, so I haven't actually seen their outdoors exhibits, but I hope to get there this summer.

Dollar day was great. Fun stuff for the kids and a very well kept grounds

Beautiful gardens, unique gifts. Very nice room to rent.

This is a special gem in the Quad Cities! I love taking my child here!

Kind of small but has a nice setup. My son loves the Koi fish pond. He was so excited to feed them. I loved the waterfall and tropical plants.

Awesome place, great value and real public service . Recommend to go and shake off the winter blues
