This was a truly awesome experience. It seemed like everything was in bloom and the fragrance was unbelieveable. The special exhibit was the "Imaginary Worlds" - plants larger than life. That was really astounding how they created these large plant sculptures and were beautiful to see. The walkways are shady and it is so calming to walk thru the caopied... More

Very nice. Lot's to do. I was arfraid I'd be looking at grass and bugs in dirt all day, but it so much more than a garden.

I've been twice when visiting our college children in Atlanta. We went one year for the Christmas lights and then again this Mother's Day. I DEFINITELY recommend the day time visit more. While the lights were pretty, we could see little of the gardens. Our trip in daylight was amazing. The mosaicultures were one of a kinds and the flowers... More

The Botanical Gardens were always a good but never the first option for our ATL trips. We always want to take our friends to see the Aquarium, Coke museum, CNN, and other staples of the city. Well, it shouldn't be. A visit to the Botanical Gardens is a wonderful option for a quiet afternoon and I highly recommend it. This... More

After seeing the amazing Chihuluy exhibit a few years ago we became members. We just saw the new mosaiculture exhibit and its really amazing. My favorite was the 30-foot cobras but my wife like the ogre. Definitely worth a visit, both for the mosaicultures and for all the great blooming flowers!

I was much more impressed than I expected to be. The gardens are very extensive with trails that walk through the woods opening on vignettes and special living sculpture surprises, including a giant dog, unicorn and Earth Goddess, as well as green houses for tropical plants and orchids, a children's garden, an edible garden, flower gardens and a number of...

The lights exhibit was beautiful, and though it was cold outside the tropical garden was steamy and inviting. Such a beautiful place; don' miss the brige!

Incredibly beautiful garden for strolling and talking and kissing. Go when they have guests art exhibits. Chihuly, Niki de Saint Phalle, Henry Moore, kinetic art, and Garden Lights have all been amazing. The current mosaiculture show is fabulous.

My family visited the garden as an extension to our science study. I have three bouncing boys so I had some concerns with our visit. I wasn't sure if acres of flowers would hold their attention or if visitors would appreciate my bouncing boys romping throughout the garden. However, my boys thoroughly appreciated the various displays of plant life. They... More
