Tower Hill Botanic Garden Review

We love visiting and strolling around. Lovely views, fun rotating exhibits, and decent lunch fare

Went to see Daffodil day today. Really disappointing. Nothing to see. And u know u need yo pay $ 15 per adult for seeing nothing as such.

Really don t know why this place is hyped so much.
I travelled from Hartford to see beautiful flowers and there I see nothing.

Frustrating visit

Beautiful gardens. Great for kids. Wear sunblock! Very limited shade.

Amazing place,just beautiful display of Christmas lights.

We went to Tower Hill Botanic Garden for their Daffodil Day. Entry fee was $15 per person to the grounds which includes the Daffodil Days. Unfortunately due to the cold weather this year many of the daffodils had yet to bloom. It was early in the season so not much was in bloom but we enjoyed walking around the grounds and seeing the indoor exhibits. The gift shop is well curated with many interesting items. Seems to be a great place to spend a sunny summer day when things are in bloom. Will definitely revisit later in the season.

Really disappointed. The entire Garden was very lackluster. It wasn't even very quiet since you could hear the highway that's less than a mile away. Some might assume that nothing was in bloom, but it more seemed like nothing was being taken care of. The garden was small, and the majority of it was just overgrown ferns and grass. The water displays were very dirty, and everything looked to be in need of cleaning up. This is especially concerning since there was a wedding party being set up as we left, meaning they made no effort to clean the place up for someones wedding. I wouldn't come back here if it was free, never mind for the 16$ a head they ask for.

Botanic Garden all decked out and it's Christmas Splendor was absolutely beautiful . Loved every minute of walking through the gardens .

Great place for the day. Thus was a special Autumn light show. Very nice. Went with my kids. We all had fun.

Attended a wedding and it was fabulous. The ceremony and reception were equally spectacular

Such a lovely, peaceful place with well maintained walkways and a lovely variety of plants and flowers.

I went here a couple of years ago or so, on a bus trip. I have been there twice, both in the spring and the late summer. Spring was very nice!!! The flowering trees and other bushes were quite lovely!!! (And I really enjoyed their turtle fountain too!!!) Sometime I plan to go back there, probably next year or so??? I will either be taking another bus trip, or possibly drive there??? We shall see...

Beautiful bring a lunch or eat there it's a place to make a day of it

Great light display especially during the Christmas time!!

If you have not visited this place - drop everything and go now. The kids love it and it makes parents happy too.

Gorgeous views from Tower Hill. Nice place to walk with the family.

Tower Hill never fails to enchant. The whole family is happy we renewed our membership.

Their Christmas light show should not be missed. Beautiful gardens. Pleasant and helpful staff. Great store. Highly recommended.

Medium sized garden located on top of hill. Great view and nice sculptures. Love the vegetable garden there. Most part of garden is well maintained and clearly labelled. Will come back in fall and spring to check out other plants.

A beautiful place and I think it is so nice that they allow dogs. Lovely walks and an impressive educational and events center. Thank you to all the talented and hard working gardeners who keep this place looking so good!

It's a beautiful place to visit with a wide array of flowers, plants, trees and cool deco garden art. They have many scenic paths to venture along, including trails in the woods. They also have a cafe that serves unique farm-to-table salads, sandwiches, soups and frittatas and pastries (although very pricey - $10.50 for a salad, $5.00 more to add salmon or chicken to salads with no meat and $4.00 for a drink). There is a gift shop too, with a lot of cool items. The workers work hard and diligently to maintain and flourish the garden, and one gardener that I spoke with really loved her work and her job. It was awesome to see this passion and to see her heart and devotion being poured out into what she loves! She planted beautiful Snapdragons for the cute little hummingbirds, which you'll see fluttering around, along with all sorts of birds and butterflies. I've visited during the Summer season, which was beautiful, peaceful, tranquil and such a joy. I've also gone to the Christmas event, which is a MUST see with a beautiful array or Christmas lights all throughout the property, inside and outside, and tons of beautifully decorated Christmas trees in a variety of arrangements and splendor! You can also buy 3D glasses at the gift shop, which adds an extra Christmas touch to the lights that you view, such as seeing them as snowmen, Christmas trees, wreaths, etc. The cafe also has a variety of Christmas treats and hot cocoa! This place is wonderful and I can't wait to check out the other seasons too!

Sadly, it was just "okay". We felt it was nothing more than an expensive hike in the woods. Nothing especially pretty to see as far as flowers or plants. We had wraps in Farmer and the Fork. Our wraps were okay, but the person who made them forgot to put Feta cheese in them. They ran out of pickles and he said he would bring us one, but never did.
We will never need to visit there again.

Love this place. We became members so we can drop by whenever we like. Stopped there today with sandwiches in tow so we could have a quick picnic in my lunch hour! It was lovely, and the air was so fragrent with blossoms and lilacs!

Beautiful late Summer day...flower, views, tranquility....perfect!

Very good garden with loads of varieties must visit for our family during summers, if not covid-19, this place is so much clean also have a restaurant inside which offers a very good food and its packed during the season time.

Tower Hill Botanic Garden is a old and New Fashioned Trees for your House and Yard.

A beautiful, welcoming place. Always worth a visit no matter the season.

Such a beautiful place to go and relax. So much to see, tons of flowers, the trails are nice to walk through. Just wonderful!

Amazing garden! It is just as beautiful at night with the gorgeous light show

my favorite place, so much love and magic put into it, so much more than just a dry collection of scientific names and leaves. they really put heart and soul into it, it's downright lovely. perfect for a family outing, date spot, group trip with friends, whatever.

A beautiful place to walk around. Still a lot of flowers and some beautiful leaves.

This place is unbelievable. There is no season that we don't love coming to Tower Hill to see all the plants, exhibits, and walk the trails. The winter reimagined lights are magical, and the summer walks here are relaxing and educational.

Peaceful and tranquil spot to reenergize. Best place to go...

Amazing winter event! Lots of work was put into it.

Winter Re-Imagined lights and displays is well done. The grounds and building exhibits are excellent. Friendly and professional staff. Great place for a visit any time of year.

Went to a wedding here. Beautiful grounds and facilities.

Beautiful place to take in the natural beauty of plants

Beautiful Place. Went to "Night Lights" this past December. Spectacular!

A beautiful and very interesting place. Great to just walk at your own pace. Great gift shop also. I will go back when I am in the area.

This a great place to hold a training, off site meeting, or visit. Go on a warm sunny day and the serenity and beauty will be memorable.

Beautiful venue for a wedding. Can't wait to get back there and explore the grounds. Sculptures and Gardens are worth visiting

Great place for family and to relax in, while walking the many trails.

Gorgeous views and we were lucky yo arrive when many of the indoor plants had chosen to bloom.

Great place, very peaceful. Definitely worth to visit.

This place is super cool. Unelievable landscaping and gardens here, and so much to explore. With a six year old, we were able to keep her entertained for over an hour (that's alot!) and still had patience for some lunch from the yummy Cafe inside. Not sure what it's like in other seasons, but more-July was full of life and blooms. I highly recommend this place.

Great nature beautiful sights walking trails peaceful

This place is the most amazing place around Worcester. You can go there to clear your head and everything is just so beautiful and peaceful.

We went here for the winter lights in the gardens. They did a great job with the lights and the grounds a beautiful. Strolled through the gardens stopped at one of the fire pits and chatted with the very friendly attendants. Inside we enjoyed some hot chocolate and strolled through the indoor gardens. The gift shop was well decorated and had a variety of items to choose from. I will come back next year for the light displays, great time with the family.

Got sick and vomited 5 times. The plants were pretty neat though.

Not worth 12 dollars, unless you like to see shriveled up plants that you can just google to see

Been a member for almost 20 years. Beautiful grounds all year long. The two huge indoor greenhouses are filled with exotic and many flowering plants. Also, the food is delicious and very healthy.

Went for holiday lights. It was ok, maybe not worth the $

This was my second visit to THBG, my first in autumn. I was surprised to see how many flowers are still blooming. There are various flowers from different parts of the world. The indoor exhibits are of a tropical nature. There is a gorgeous pathway with well labeled trees of their variety and where they are from in the world. Flora isn't their only specialty. Peppered throughout the garden are several beautiful statues both indoors and out. My first visit was the beginning of summer, and I found both seasons to be equally beautiful. I'd love to see this place in the winter.

Tower Hill was a worthy visit, the lands were more expansive than I expected, certainly bring good walking shoes if you want to explore the whole place. Extremely peaceful experience

Tower Hill is a great place to check out flowers, shrubs and trees and see them in a garden setting.

Tower Hill offers a variety of activities that are concerned with growing plants and flowers and vegetables. This place has walking trails for hikers and families with children who like to spend their time outdoors. They have many special work shops throughout the year and a wonderful holiday program that attracts many people from central Massachusetts & beyond.There are musical events here outside in the warm weather, and they even host weddings.

Went for the Christmas Lights on December. HIGHLY recommend.
