Tower Hill Botanic Garden Review

Nice spot. A little expensive for a day visit but free days or a pass from a library is nice. Walking trails through wooded paths with sculptures surround the botanical gardens which make it even more interesting. Nice afternoon on cooler days and during flower season. Fall brings lights to the garden. Good for kids too, though no playground.

So much to see and experience. Beautiful place to walk and enjoy the outdoors. The peonies were amazing!!!

This place is picture perfect. So much to see for all ages. Be prepared for lots of walking.

Beautiful plants and varied locations. Definitely try it out!

Always a beautiful trip that rejuvenates me as I love the plants and grounds

I love this place. We go almost every weekend (not winter).

We've never been this far East (from Oklahoma) and accidentally ran across your gardens as we were traveling to our destination of Maine. We stopped for a very short while, and I throughly enjoyed the gardens and lunch at the Twig. Didn't have time to stroll through all of the features but what we saw was very nice, very well kept and maintained. I personally loved the remoteness of the area. I'm glad we made the stop.

We went for their holiday lights and it was a lot of fun! A lot of people, but it was well organized and ran smoothly. To say nothing of the beautiful displays.

This is my local sanctuary. So close to my home. A place where I come to wander. If I'm feeling a lot of people, I'll go and share space with the art inside or the big gardens. But my favorite thing to do is go on the forest paths which are much more secluded. My daughter and I spend hours here sitting amongst the flowers and trees. A perfect place to teach plant recognition and connection to the earth.

Tower Hill is a lovely place for a walk. The gift shop is always full of fun unique gifts and on a summer evening free Thursdays are packed with folks having a grand time.

The garden has a few trails and little detours filled with plants, statues, & bees to keep you entertained. There is one restaurant in the garden property, just in case you're hungry (there are also vending machines and some snacks in the gift shoppe)

Amazing design. Beautiful light show in the winter too.

Very beautiful! They do a great job taking care of the plants. Very cool structures and some nice art. If you like nature or, more specifically, plants you should definitely check it out. If you live locally, a lot of libraries have passes for discounts. The price seems fair, though.

Wonderful place with many events throughout the year.
Make sure to get a membership, however to keep the cost low.
Nice place to cure the winter blues, go snowshoeing, and see the gardens and trails during the summer months

Beautiful place! Restaurant is good as well. Daffodil field is wonderful as are the new sculptures.

Thousands of plants and flowers. Changes throughout the year.

We came for their "Gnome-vember" event, which was a big hit. Lovely gardens, even in the fall, and the activity was a cute way to spend an afternoon.

Tower Hill is much more than a botanic garden. Best to describe it as an experience, bound to bring joy to the visitor, rooted in the appreciation of nature, conjugation of nature with the human soul. While the programs offered at Tower Hill, and the gardens themselves are spectacular, I find my greatest passion in the trails and open fields spanning 176 acres. The more I experience Tower Hill, the more joy it brings me. I recommend that all not only visit it at least once, but also return again and again. Each visit will bring you to a higher level of appreciation for what Tower Hill has to offer.

The gardens are beautiful. The food in the cafe is delicious. My only concern is that the cafe staff are using latex gloves when dealing with the food. There are far too many people allergic to latex for this to be acceptable. I suggest that someone does something about it.

Lovely place with many gardens, kid friendly spaces, interesting gallery space and gorgeous spaces for events and weddings. Nice gift shop too.

I've been to Tower Hill twice now. Once for the winter lights event in 2019, and once this November for Gnomevember. I had a great time both times. The gnome scavenger hunt was especially enjoyable, we found 200 of the gnomes including the sacred golden gnome!

Fantastic day! Everything about Tower Hill Botanic Garden is top notch! Plants are gorgeous, people are super helpful, grounds are outstanding! Be sure to go to the summit for a great view of Wachusett Reservoir! Do not hesitate to go!

Easy walking trails around old farm - now botanical garden. Cafe on site too.

Beautiful place to come with the kids and have a picnic. Some lovely and quite easy to manage trails for the younger kids and plenty to see. Food options that they offer looked good but seemed a little bit pricey. Plenty of parking. Really lovely place.

Tower Hill is a great place to learn, or just take in the beauty. Indoors, outdoors, they have it covered.

The seasonal changes in the solarium as well as the outdoor gardens makes it seem like a new place every time I go there. The trails are easy and great for kids and grandkids.

This place is stunning. Nature soothes my soul, so getting a Tower Hill membership was an investment in myself.

Awesome place to have a relaxing afternoon, we love bringing our three year old there to run around. Pretty decent restaurant too. Has hiking trails beyond the main complex.

Great people. Nice gardens. Good events for members.

Such a peaceful atmosphere. Not a ton of exotic plants, but definitely serene. The "hiking" path is easy on beginners and there are benches all around

I went their at Christmas time and the light display was amazing, had gift shop and small place to eat. This is a great place to visit.

What a great way to wrap up fall with a nice date day out at Tower Hill botanical gardens! The grounds as always look beautiful even with the change in seasons and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed trying to find the best color left on the trees!

Unexpectedly good. Went with kids and both 8yo and 19yo loved it. Although not everything was in bloom the garden is gorgeous and well worth the visit

This is always a great place to visit. They have great a great range of events and there is always something to enjoy during each visit.

Beautiful and surprisingly wheelchair accessible in The main building , cafe and gardens.

Always a good time. Nice walking trails. Love the free Thursdays 3-9, they open the beer garden and have music. We went for the lillies recently and it was great!

Went for the orchid show, which while beautiful was a little underwhelming for the advertisement put into it. Still enjoyed our visit though and my mother got to pick out a new orchid. And I know she enjoyed the show.

My daughter Sharon and I attended a New England Daylily Society meeting at the Tower Hill Botanic Garden! It was wonderful to visit with friends and to hear Bob Sobek's interesting presentation on his daylily hybridizing program. We got to visit with Bob after the meeting, which was a real plus! Next time, I hope we get to look around the gardens and the Orangerie and the Limonaia. The halls and Limonaia were full of gorgeous plants and trees, plus an Orchid Show was going on. This is a lovely place to visit :-) Excellent day!

Very pretty outdoor setting for a family wedding! Nice building and seating in a conservatory area. Never had a chance to view the whole property, but it was very pleasant.

AMAZING BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS AND FLOWERS CHRISRMAS LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS A MUST SEE!

Beautiful views, nice collection, and good programming

Very peaceful and beautiful place to go with to take pictures and look at all different plants and flowers plus other sculpted they have.

It's a so beautiful place to have a great weekend time

Very beautiful and an amazing walk, but prices are a bit high

Wonderful place to visit. The graffiti art compliments the orchid exhibit beautifully. A must-see!

This is a quiet and peaceful place. It is not like the botanical gardens in London or Bronx, NY, but it is a perfect place to get away from the noise of the city. There are a variety of plants are indigenous to NE. I would highly recommend it to everyone who battles the city life during the week.

My family was here for a wedding. Beautiful venue all around!

A stunning venue for events and to visit. Beautiful space and very tranquil. Plenty of parking, restrooms, has great cafe, gift shop and little sports to just sit and take in the views.

Beautiful setting, great views. Wide selection of plants.

Just an incredible place, a very beautiful property. Great for a hike, their winter light show is stunning (you have to buy tickets online in advance). For summer hikes, I like that there's a cafe on site: go for a walk through the woods, have a sandwich on the patio. Beautiful place. Check prices online before going.

My wife and I enjoyed the evening and the snow only enhanced the seasonal beauty and effects.

Quite place to walk , relax, have a bit to eat and enjoy the beauty of nature.

It was super warm today but luckily we found some nice nature paths with plenty of shade. Great socially distancing measures in place. Had a nice boxed lunch from the cafe and got some fun items in the gift shop. All in all a great Saturday excursion.

Came here on a school field trip; great diversity of plants and habitats. Great educational place to get some fresh air and enjoy nature's splendors.

This place is gorgeous! Lots of picture opportunities. Loved the small little fairy houses! I felt like a little kid going around, trying to find them all.

Have been there a few times now in different seasons and I love it. Always something new to see and explore.
