Tower Hill Botanic Garden Review

Only reason there are 4 stars is because we went in the offseason/ nothing in bloom and statues covered for protection (can't blame them there!)! Lol... greenhouses were full or gorgeous blooms, the the lemons were ridiculously huge! Trails were beautiful, though I wish they charged less in the dead of off season, after winter displays and before anything blooms... I loved the displays we could see (info on trails, etc.) can't wait to go back when statues are uncovered. The view of Wachusett Reservoir and mountain was gorgeous from the overlook. Definitely recommend the trails and sorry to anyone who missed the "Wild Rumpus" display as it was my favorite.

4 stars for the Light Festival, but cool enough to be 5. Hopefully up to a 5th star when I visit this place again during the flourishing warmer garden months. Cool place, nice atmosphere, but didn't get a chance to visit the shop or see gardens yet. Will update for the business's sake in the future.. but nothing bad to say. Recommendation though: Should probably put a couple visible garbage cans on the loop for ppl that purchased drinks and snacks to ensure the grounds stay tidy. :)

Lovely place!! Friendly staff..plenty of parking. Quant orchid show. Can't wait to see it in the spring!! Large gift shop filled with plant stuff and items from local vendors..hand creams, jellies, aroma therapy etc...

Gorgeous, something new and beautiful to look at around every corner.

Gorgeously maintained every year. Each season brings new beauty.

Lots of small trails in the woods for a peaceful walk. Nice vegetable garden and apple orchards.

Lots of fun things to see and do inside on a snowy spring day

Very nice to walk and see the lights worth the trip

It's a great place! Excellent classes and a beautiful spot for an indoor or outdoor picnic. We love visiting with our toddler. Lots of room to run and there are often kids activities to keep him busy.

Loved the lights.. wish they did more Christmas trees inside

Such a gorgeous & tranquil place with so many wonderful things to see! Our family enjoyed such a beautiful day here viewing all of the stunning flowers, plants, & statues. It is truly a magical place!

Beautiful place. Everyone was friendly and the food was even good. Will definitely go back.

We had a great time at the garden today. It was for a field trip for my son. The staff was very nice. They were pretty informative. I actually enjoy this place better in the Winter for the light festival. That is fantastic! They have hot chocolate tons of lights and even some Bailey's you can buy for adults. In the Spring it was nice to. There a lots of paths to walk on and very pretty flowers.

Very nice, I knew this farm 58 years ago, all its history, Definately a summer visit, I hit all the botanicals .recent trip for 6 months. Investing, was Memphis Tn. Botanicals, J R

First time visit and we were pleased. Not crowded and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Tried the cafe and was quite pleased with local food sourcing. Some organics were available and we were very pleased. Nice atmosphere and great tasting fresh food. Will be back soon.Nice walking trails. Didn't see as many flowers as I thought I would, but still lovely greenery.

We went during Christmas to see the lights which was not impressive. The only lights that stood out were the outdoor walkway arch that was decorated with colorful lights. When you walk through it, you are on a dirt path with barely any decorations. The inside garden and decorations was much better. They had some refreshments, hot chocolate, coffee, apple cider doughnuts and more. There was only one fire pit which was small and sat maybe 8. Poor guy, Jared manning the pit was cold and given no hot drink.
Maybe I will revisit during another season.

Went here for their Christmas light display. We had a great time, had some hot chocolate. Had to cut it short due to a sick kid. Definitely recommend the Christmas light set up in the winter.

Heaven on Earth! I was totally blown away by the beauty that Tower Hill Botanic Garden had to offer. Everything was truly amazing and you will spend hours here.

Have been here several times with family and friends. I come here with my photography club to take photos. A great place to stroll around and enjoy the outdoors.

What an absolute gem of a place. Absolutely beautiful any time of year. Nice, well marked trails as well.

I gave us five stars because they have very nice walking past that you can bring your dogs . There were several way stations and watering stations throughout the path. $7 per dog unless you are a member. It was well worth it for me and my two dogs to spend the afternoon there. I don't know if this is because it was June there were not a lot of flowering plants. I am sure by Spring there will be more flowering plants.

Not much to see on a December afternoon but will come back another time for Bright Night or in the summer.

One of my happy places. I have been a member, I have taken my son and his class on a field trip there. Such a lovely place and a great place for a wedding.

Went to Christmas reimagined display it is one of the best lighting display I have seen.

Exotic plants and art, natural woods and fields, lovely manicured gardens and lawns

Beautiful place to wander around for an afternoon and take in the scenery.

Sweet spot to see some beautiful lights and outdoor sculpture. Yummy food inside and a nice library with activities for kids

A beautiful place! We had a client appreciation event and it was wonderful!

Must visit if your in the area. You pay to park but it is worth it

What s fun night with the family, we went at Christmas and the lights and atmosphere was amazing.

Great place to visit and have lunch with a terrific view. Never disappoints, highly recommend.

Beautiful even in the late fall. Wonderful staff. The library and restaurant were great too.

Tower Hill is beautiful, not matter what time if day it year you attend. They are often showcasing new exhibits, the staff are knowledgeable and the views are amazing. I can't wait to come back. Lots if parking and so much to see. There are quite a little if functions that take place here as well. Their winter reimagined is very good.

Took a mom break this morning and enjoyed the views at the gardens today. I feel refreshed.

The best gardens! have seen in a long time. If you are in the area and like these types of things check it out.

Not only did we see breathtaking orchids, The hike in the woods was exhilarating.

A great escape into a beautifully maintained landscape. The follies are quite delightful.

Tower Hill is a gem for all seasons. The gardens have been intelligently designed and are well maintained. The buildings - especially the Limonaia and Orangerie - sparkle year round. And, while most gardens go dormant in October, Tower Hill is a winter retreat both indoors and out. There are a continuing stream of horticultural shows and displays in addition to the delight of the indoor winter gardens. In Michelin parlance, it is worth a detour!

A serene experience, beautifully kept up. Admission fee is somewhat steep at $16 a person, but worth it.

The garden is blooming right now. Awesome place for a quiet hike

My group had a great time at the last event we went to, and looking forward to more !!!

For a botanical garden, it has a lot of potential but not spectacular. It lacks variety exoticness. The place is well maintained and has beautiful areas. It seems more centered as a venue than a place of wonder for botanicals.

The trails are peaceful but have random themed statues and structures here and there. The moss steps are nice. The other stuff, just stuff laying around in my opinion.

As others have said, the staff are very nice and concerned with you enjoying your experience.

Will have to go back in the fall to see the many varieties of apples.

What's not to love about beautiful, sweeping gardens?

Always come away from Tower Hill Botanical Garden feeling uplifted

What a beautiful space. Super fun for kids too. Pack a lunch, spend the day.

Beautiful space for picnic or stroll! Would be nice for a wedding or special event. $12 adult admission.

Get the membership and return. Nice time here for all ages.

I just visited for the dahlia show. It was small, but lovely. Some of their signs on the outside are years over due for replacement.

Well worth the membership! It is a peaceful oasis in this busy world

Nice scenery! Small area for flower plants. Not a lot of decoration like Longwood garden. More trail then scenery. But nice experience for first time. Nice view of lake.

Beautiful moments! But feels less and less non-profit as the years go by....membership has few useful privileges (except for the discount) over someone who buys a one time ticket. Access hours are limiting.

Nice place to visit the gardens and hike the trail. The Wild Rumpus is interesting.

Full bloom... You can easily spend 2 or 3 hours enjoying the beauty.

Beautiful garden with many species and very well kept, mountainous climate.

Excellent botanical gardens and great lunch restaurant

No matter what time of year, its always nice to walk around and take pictures. They keep greenhouses indoors so you can look at the tropical plants in the winter aswell. There is a lot of art, and if you walk around in the woods there are many statues.
I love going here on dates with my boyfriend, and this place also does weddings!

I could have spent an entire day here and still not seen everything.

Such a beautiful location! Great for going on walks by yourself or with the kids! Lots to look at!

Really nice place to wonder around taking in the plants

Very enjoyable ,relaxing nature area , enjoy their food on the deck and soak in some natural atmosphere while you walk among the many beautiful picturesque scenery, lovely area tucked away from this fast paced society

Visited during the daffodil show and got to see a wonderful exhibition of various kinds of daffodils. And as a bonus the wild daffodils were in bloom too!

Absolutely beautiful facility with a combination of formal gardens and winding forest paths

Nice spot for peaceful walks in beautiful surroundings.

One of my favorite places to visit.. it is always clean and well taken care if.. visit their website for a full calendar of happenings..
