I go here frequently and am always seeing new plants. It's a peaceful place to walk around and explore - an oasis in the city. They do not have an eating facility, so plan accordingly. More

I am a tour guide and stop here frequently with my travelers. In late April, we toured Harry Leu gardens with 40 senior citizens. The Gardens are a great oasis in Orlando's concrete jungle. They are much larger than most people expect and there is a visitor's center and the owner's original historic home on the property. With all of... More

The gardens are a fun family outing. Just on the out skirts of downtown Orlando by the lake you can see the tall buildings in the distance. Huge parking area and it wasn't crowded. They have a cute little gift shop with basically gardening items and a couple of soda machines. My advice is to take your own water it... More

This is a wonderful way to relax and spend a day with nature. You take a self guided tour through acres and acres of wonderful gardens and plantings. Kick back and take your time, breathe in the aroma of newly opening flowers and other vegetation. More

Surprised at the entry fee - very much lower than we anticipated. If you like nature this is a good change from the faster paced stuff- like the theme parks. Allocate a day if you are really to do justice to the tour. More

Never is boring. Great for all ages. Recommend walking at opening time. If you're there early enough, no one will pry you from hugging the trees. You'll want to keep hugging them. More

For $5 you can view a movie on select nights at Leu Gardens. It was a great girl's night out with wine, cheese, crackers, and a great movie! Recommend bug spray, blankets/chairs, picnic food/drinks. Go to the house first to get your stamp and pay fee...then park. Members park closer. More

If you like flowers, this is a nice place to visit. It's well thought out and nice. You can spend a few hours there and see everything. I went with a group of ladies and we went to Gargi's afterwards for lunch. More

This was a bit away from where we were but worth the drive. VERY LOVELY Gardens and grounds. So many sections that if you want to see it all you need plenty of time. Could easily spend morning or afternoon here. Touring the house/museum is informative. Beautiful flora and walks through entire gardens. Lovely visitor area, bathrooms and gift shop... More
