Red Butte Garden Reviews

We visited this garden twice. The first day we got there about 90 min. before closing time, but they were closing early, so I begged for a furrther opportunity, coming from Italy, and yes they were soooo kind and gave us two complimentary tickets.
I liked this place! I liked the alternance of plants, the rose gardens, the suggestions for your home garden to have a pleasant appearance and save water and help the envornment. I liked the view of the mountains and the places to rest. It was hot and we visited the gardens late in the afternoon and I guess that this was a very good choice. Do not miss them!

This was an AWESOME place, I enjoyed the trails, gift store and amazing views

We always love visiting here year round. Always beautiful and something new to see.

Nice garden. Not super big and great for an afternoon walk.

I love this beautiful place! It's lovely as a concert venue. However, I wish security would use loud speakers and more security to prevent running by rude patrons rushing to find a good spot on the hill. I got trampled at Jackson Browne. OWW.

Awesome experience checking out the LEGO Sculptures & beautiful flowers and views of the valley!

Very beautiful. If I lived here, I would get an annual membership. Great for kids.

Beautiful park and beautiful facilities for events !!!!

Must make time for this. Well worth your $! Great place to explore with kids, beautiful date night, great place to bring your coffee and read or meet with friends!

This place is gorgeous. I proposed to my fiance here in a secluded corner. The spring time is unreal. Flowers blooming everywhere waving their little petals at the sky. If you have the opportunity come enjoy a great walk through these beautiful gardens. Bring a snack and share it with someone you care about.

Very nice garden, but may not have much to present in winter season

There's not a ton to see in the winter. I'm sure in the spring and summer it's butte-iful

We love coming here in any season. Just happened to visit during their orchid show.

Beautiful flowers and nice layout. The staff seemed to be a little grumpy.

Love walking around here, always find new things to see!

Great place to see plants and plan four your own garden! Lots of wasps, however...

Love it there. Many paths to walk and they're beautiful.

To Expensive went to the gift shop and looked around. We couldn't get anything there too. Sorry

This place is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I went on a rainy day in spring and I highly recommend doing the same.

First time at the Red Butte Garden venue...
Saw Ryan Adams and Ruby Force.
So much fun. Beautiful grounds. Will return again.

This is a beautiful place to visit so many great things to see the pretty flowers and trees and plants you can even bring your lunch and eat it there

We always visit on mother's day. It's a great place to take pictures with family and friends. The new addition of the water conservation garden is fabulous. We got lots of ideas for our yard. They are always improving the gardens an they are immaculate. The ponds and waterfalls are also lovely and inviting.

Great venue, great bands, great back drop of our gorgeous mountain views!

Gardens are absolutely beautiful - easy to spend a lot of time here. There's a children's garden that includes a splash pad, so bring extra clothes or a swimsuit for your child if you plan on visiting that area. The free tram is a great way to see all of the gardens. We had volunteer Lynn as our tram driver and she was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the gardens. Really great experience and would love to come back in each of the seasons to see how the gardens change.

The food was ok, it was cold and the salmon we ate wasn't cooked well enough and that was also cold

An incredible place for your wedding. I've filmed multiple weddings here over several years and every single one has been amazing!!!

This large stretch of land is absolutely gorgeous! If you want to take an invigorating hike or just a peaceful stroll through the garden you can do both here. There is also an educational value to visiting Red Butte Garden; there are little signs that give the names of all the vegetation along with how much water and sunlight they need. They also have various opportunities for volunteers.
The garden also hosts some concerts and seasonal events like Garden After Dark.
It's a great place for people of all ages.
Not to mention, it's a short walk to the neighboring Utah Museum of Natural History so you can go to one after visiting the other.

The ampitheater here is the greatest place for events in the valley. Because of the nature of the grass seating, it provides great atmosphere for everything from movies to concerts and more. Make sure to bring some blankets and low seating if you are sitting on the grass. Depending on the event, they might not check your bag in the way in either...

So beautiful and serene. I love the variety of plants and scenery and the fact that everything is labeled. I need to go more often for sure!

Red Butte Garden concerts are so enjoyable. It s such a beautiful and quaint setting. Concerts are relatively small so you don t have to fight a huge crowd like you would at USANA amphitheatre. There s nothing better than listening to great music on a beautiful summer night at red Butte Garden amphitheater

Absolutely the most stunning live venue in Salt Lake

Some of the best concerts I've attended have been here! I love the fact we can bring our own food and drinks, even alcohol. Had to buy new low chairs to start going here but totally worth it!

Wonderful place to spend a Saturday afternoon with the family!

Beautiful Gardens and my kids loved the splash pad except there were a lot of bees around. But it is a garden so it's expected. Also they have Lego Statues through the 16th of Sept this year. Also every July 24th is free admission to the gardens. It is busy but fun!

Such a great place to see shows. Hardly a poor seat in the place and though the sound can be spotty in areas, that is an almost unavoidable side effect of outdoor music venues. I have been lucky enough to see both John Fogerty and Ryan Adams here and thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. Though there is no alcohol sold here, it turns out to be a blessing in disguise because you are allowed to bring in a cooler filled with the styles and brands of booze most suited to your inclinations. Tickets can be on the more spendy side, but the quality of performers usually justifies the door price.

I learned today that they have golf cart tours from 10-1. The lady was super nice and worked well with my client who has autism.
The place is beautiful!! We'll kept! A nice children's garden (wish it could be bigger, but it's still great!!)! The water conservation area is fun and has an amazing look out over the whole valley!!! Great place to read or study or just take a peaceful break. :)
I love it!!

Beautiful and well kept grounds. Great place to go for a walk with the family. There's a good deal of shade as well so good for a hot day.

Lovely gardens wonderfully laidout, nice water features, great views, nice giftshop.

Cool venue. Nice to bring in your own food and drink. Low on diversity. Largely reserved for the high faluting crowd of the upper East side.

Warning: new concert ticket venue, TicketFly, charges five bucks per ticket service charge. In some cases, that is more than 10%. And that is on top of $45 for a membership for early ticket purchases. What a massive ripoff.

Serene, beautiful, and informative. Good value. Gorgeous even in winter. Worth it

Beautiful place! Amazing number of beautiful flowers, shrubs and trees. Loved the water area and the hiking trails!

So many roses! Beautiful Bonsai trees as well. Wonderful place to take visiting parents.

Beautiful place. Very informative as well. Staff are really nice.

If you love nature, this should be on your checklist. Staff are friendly.

Red Butte Garden recommends wearing masks - they should require & enforce it. Otherwise, a delightful experience.

Beautiful place for a wedding reception. Love to visit all seasons. Wish the price was a little better

I love gardens and I had a great time. Full details on their website. They have golf carts and they give a free tour in them. nice restrooms and plenty of places to have picnic lunch. another great garden in salt lake city is thanksgving gardens at thanksgiving point in lehi about twenty three miles south of salt lake city, right of interstate fifteen

Always a lovely time from a show, to a wedding, to a stroll through the grade. I would highly recommend Red Butte Garden.

This place is awesome. After walking through all the beautiful gardens. We went for hike we could see the Salt lake Valley. My boys had as much fun as me. This is definitely a place to come back several times a year.

Beautiful Gardens! Mught be over priced but definetly breath taking

Very pretty, good place for kids and adults. The majority of the paths are paved. There is an amazing variety of plants here. It's a fun place to bring out of town guests.

This place is awesome. Only $10 to walk around a beautiful garden. They have flowers everywhere!!! Lots of cool trails and places to explore in the back of the gardens. They have a hidden picnic area (if you can find it). They have a kids play area that is great. A giant snake they can crawl through, a learning center, sandbox, fireman's pole, giant plastic lizards, huts to crawl in, etc. I have enjoyed walking around in spring, summer, and fall.

A picturesque view of SLC! The garden is beautifully manicured. The staff is friendly. And there s ample space for kids to roam around.

Red Butte Gardens is always a relaxing visit. Between the gardens themselves and the views of the valley, there is more than enough to help you relax and return again and again.

This was the perfect setting for the magnificent Utah Symphony. We loved it!

Attractive botanical garden with killer views of the mountains and a panoramic view of the city.

Went to the Garden After Dark event. Great for young kids. Take your older ones elsewhere.

On the north side of the main garden, Dragonflies will occasionally conspire to a sea of patterns and blue hues across the skies that can only be appreciated by two people falling in love.

REally pretty gardens, the venue is incredible. My only complaint is the wine and cheese crowd needs to go for the music, not the social hour, or at least keep conversations minimal when the bands are playing. Also, they should get up and enjoy themselves. Its a concert, not a picnic.

Beautiful gardens! Always enjoy seeing them so much! The Legos exhibit was spectacular!
