Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was a disappointment. The Garden is big with many beautiful trees. But it is not very visitor friendly. There are little information about the trees and flowers. The few benches and picnic tables are rotten and unusable. Bring your own food and beverages because there is none to be purchased in the Garden. The entrance fee is low though, GEL 4 per person. There are many other places in Tbilisi that you should visit before bothering to visit The Botanical Garden.

An absolute highlight! Wonderful landscapes nearly in the city, just a little walk and then you are in another world.

Not something that will make you go wow. Long walks with not much to see. However, I like this place because I love flowers and it's attractive when everything is blooming by then it gets boring again.

A wonderful getaway place to relax and enjoy the natural greenery. Although it is in the city but you feel like you are out of Tbilisi city.
Walking under the trees, the colorful seens, flowers, sounds of the birds, river and wonderful waterfalls: all make it a great experience and enjoyable walk.
Kids will enjoy the Zip Line, the facilities, and walking.
Great views to take unforgettable photos of greenery, river and waterfall.
We spend about 3-4hrs and wanted to come back later to enjoy more of the different parts of the Garden (Japanese Garden - Mediterranean Garden and others).
You can plan your visit to Botanical Garden as part of your tour to Mother of Georgia and Narikala Fort using the cable care form Rike Park to go up the mountain then go walking down to Botanical Garden.
Fees are reasonable.

Really enjoyed a few walks and runs around the garden while we in Tbilisi. It’s a beautiful setting that feels completely outside the city even though it’s very nearby. The waterfall is stunning with lovely places to sit at the bottom and a bridge across the top giving excellent views.

A botanic garden should have a large number of flowers, trees, or plants, signage, and some explanations. This is just a large, average park that is less interesting than the other (free) parks in the city. There is an interesting waterfall near the entrance, but hardly worth the hike or entrance fee. The signage is extremely poor. We saw the cedar collection which also had poor signage. We saw photos of the Japanese garden which seemed kitschy compared to real Japanese gardens. I consider myself to have a very good sense of direction and could not follow the maps to the destinations I wanted. We managed to wander out of the park into some backwoods and had to navigate back using Google maps. We overheard several other people complaining that they couldn't find their way around. At the entrance, the cashier was notably slow to process people leading to a long line.
If in Tbilisi, I'd recommend skipping the Botanic garden and go to Mtatsminda Park
for a free more beautiful park with better views, or to Vera or Rike park if you want more urbanized walkable parks.

Great park, which is pretty large. Especially the waterfall is a highlight, where you can chill around. Not many very special plants though. And the Japanese garden was disappointing.

Tranquil, peaceful, beautiful, well maintained and teeming with wonderful plants and animals. I could happily spend hours lost in the meadows and woods here, listening to the birds and the frogs. It is an unmissable treat for anyone who wants an oasis in the city.

This is a relatively large and beautiful garden, it is a must-visit, you will see plants from several geographic regions all over the world, visit the waterfall, and if you are feeling adventurous you can ride the zipline.
Starting from the top of the hill where Mother of Georgia & Narikala Fortress reside, all the way down to the old city where you can visit the Mosque and sulfur baths, this large garden is a perfect escape from the city in the city, you can walk around, relax, breath in the fresh air & feel the nature.
I recommend going up to the garden using the cable car, a quick stop at the Mother of Georgia, and Narikala Fortress, then visit the garden, there you will find yourself near the zipline.

Does it make sense to start from the fortress or from the ground/main entrance? If i start from the main entrance on the road level, will there be a lot of uphill climbing?

Hi everyone, what are the mode of transportation to botanical garden from Tbilisi? Do we need to go by tourist guide or we can go by ourselves?

Hey! You can honestly go on your own. You can take the cart up onto where Mother Georgia is and walk down then go from there. Or you can walk up. There are pathways and signs that show you where you are. But there's also a cafe and a little shop just incase you need something. Be careful of the gypsies, they'll be very pushy to take pictures of you , with your own device, with maybe a monkey or a peacock and then tell you you need to pay 'x' amount of money AFTER. If you don't pay, they will follow you and harass you. They even go so far as to pull and hang onto you.

А как добраться до Бат.сада?

Здравствуйте, он находится на примерно одинаковом расстоянии от метро Площадь свободы или от метро Авлабари.
От Метро Авлабари нужно перейти через мост Метекхи и повернуть налево, дойти до батанической улицы. Она вас приведет к саду. (примерно 1 км от метро пешком до сада)
От метро Площадь свободы, нужно идти по улице Галактиона Табидзе до конца, далее вы увидете вдалике памятник на горе Нарикала "Мать Грузия", вам нужно двигаться в его сторону (лучше спросить у местных)
Или от Площади свободы более долгой дорогой пройти по улице Котэ Абхази до ботанической улицы и по ней дойти до сада. (примерно 2 км от метро)
здравствуйте!! есть в грузии уникальные деревья окаменелые диаметром около 10 метров ,пни этих деревьев в одном месте несколько ,, есть ли в грузии серьёзные люди кого эта находка бужет интересовать !!!
да ,жалко что в грузии нет людей которые могли бы выставить на показ достопримечательность самой земли,, подлинность её богатства, которым нужно гордиться , и. оставить это своим потомкам !!!!!
