Absolutely wonderful place to visit, and trust me, it’s well worth the $30 asking price. There’s multiple areas with different plant types, the troll sculptures were super cool, and my favorite as usual was the greenhouse - which was bonkers awesome, especially the tropical area. We spent hours at the place, amazed by all sorts of giant and tiny plants and flowers, the variety is bigger than many other gardens I’ve visited (and I’ve seen many, it’s one of my go to destinations in each city I visit). %150 recommended that you visit, despite the price being a bit steep, it’s absolutely packed with amazing nature you’ve likely never seen before and we’ll worth the price. If you like taking pictures, you’ll spend a good while here having a good time!

FINALLY made it to the Botanical Gardens chaperoning a field trip.. sooo beautiful, well kept, clean and a nice way to get your steps in. Signage could be a hair better but maybe it was just the chaos of a kajillion kids that took from my ability to find my bearings. Would love to return in the evening when the holiday lights are in full bloom (see what I did there?) And again in spring so I can give my sinuses a proper workout but overall a beautiful facility hidden in the heart of the city and right beside Piedmont park where we picnicked. The staff we engaged with were delightful and helpful. Highly recommended. Will be back and won't take years next time. ☘️️❤️

I really liked this experience, but I will say that I think it’s kind of over priced. I’m not sure if it depends on the season that you go, but we didn’t really see many flowers that we would’ve expected to see in a garden. I also feel like there was a huge amount of walking in order to see everything, I think that this should be something that is open to everyone because if I’m being honest, there isn’t really a whole lot to see and there’s a whole lot of walking in order to just see flowers here and there. Also botanical gardens are typically free in most cities. It was a nice experience, but I do wish that there could’ve been more to see.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a breathtaking oasis, seamlessly blending art and nature. The meticulously curated gardens showcase a stunning variety of flora, creating a harmonious symphony of colors and scents. The Canopy Walk, with its elevated pathways, offers a unique perspective, while the Fuqua Orchid Center is a mesmerizing display of rare and vibrant orchids. The garden's commitment to sustainability and conservation is evident throughout, making it not just a feast for the senses but also an educational experience. A visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden is a rejuvenating journey for both nature enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. @30secondsociety

This place is undeniably beautiful! This is a walkable park with a map. So peaceful with all of the flowers, bushes, trees, birds and water falls. There is a cafe on the premises. There was a tent with adult beverages for sale but free for members of the gardens. There are recognizable bushes and flowers, such as ferns and rose bushes to name a few. The staff members are helpful. Parking has a fee as well as entry into the garden. Great place for a date or photo opportunity. Be sure to stop in the gift shop. This a highly recommended place to visit.

Breathtaking is the best way to describe this botanical garden. There is so much to explore and they even offer free, guided tours. Some of the people in my group participated in the tour, guided by Barb, and it was fantastic! Barb was amazing at what she does and has a true passion for carnivorous plants! I could spend all day here; it is truly worth the price for tickets if you take your time and really appreciate each exhibit for what it is. There is so much to see and enjoy!! I will be coming back for sure.

This place was hands down one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever been to! Plenty to see and learn about here. They don't have as many plant name posts by the plants as other gardens I have been to but it is not my first rodeo. I used Google lens to identify the ones that didn't have tags. The Earth Goddess living statue was absolutely beautiful - even without blooms!!! I highly recommend buying your tickets online and coming in earlier than noon to get a nice stroll in before the heavy crowds come in.

Had a great time walking around and seeing all the different areas. The greenhouse was my favorite with all of the tropical plants. It wasn't too crowded even on a holiday weekend. The outdoor kitchen was neat, they demonstrated cooking a red lentil curry with samples for everyone to try. I just wish there was more seating in the shade available because it was in the upper 90's. Definitely would come back and highly recommend coming here.

I went there twice in the fall of 2023. Once for the Fall pumpkin show and then for the members only Christmas lights. I never tire of going to this place! Botanicals are beautiful anytime of year. Christmas light display was exceptional. Love the bars that were installed around the gardens for hot chocolate or libations! Music is piped in around the gardens and makes it very special. Truly an Enchanted Evening and a perfect place to start off the holidays!

Very beautiful park but we couldn’t really follow the map. It didn’t seem to match up with the posted signs around the garden. So we ended up circling the same areas a few times and didn’t realize we almost missed an entire other section. Glad we found it! It would have been nice to see better descriptions and maybe some audios too. I’d definitely go back! And bring a water bottle if you visit during the summer. It’s hot!

We really enjoyed our time here. You could easily spend an entire day here with your family. We spent half a day and saw everything. It's well organized and easy to navigate. There was not a long wait, we bought tickets when we arrived. The only delay was that people didnt know what they wanted for tickets...i guess? Buy tickets in advance to avoid that. There are food and drink options on site. The restaurant prefers a reservation.

We went for the holiday lights at night. It was cool and different but not breathtaking. There are good photo ops, but lots of people will be in your shots. I prefer the old drive through the cool neighborhood with Christmas lights myself. It is okay, but after seeing Singapore's botanical garden and its lights at night, it's going to take more to wow me.

We went to see the winter lights. They are beautiful, they clearly took a lot of work and thought. The only drawback was that it was pretty crowded. Everybody was taking pictures of the same thing at the same time. We had to buy the ticket over a week in advance. Luckily at least for us it was really easy getting in and there was no wait or line.

One the nicest botanical gardens we’ve visited. Beautifully kept, manicured grounds. Very friendly staff and plenty of volunteers that love what they do and willing to show/explain various aspects. Entrance is reasonable prices and they offer discounts to military members.

Great garden with many paths to walk and many areas to see. Great location close to downtown and other parks and attractions. This is an experience for the eyes. The people are friendly and nice. The inside facilities are also great. Good parking buy it does cost money. The entry fee is waived if you have a pass to your local garden since they participate in reciprocal.

This garden has some very aesthetic places to take pictures and selfies. Cost depending on when you go are about $27 in week days and $30 on weekends. You can easily spend a couple hours or more here. The special exhibits/artwork they have from time to time are worth checking out.

We went on a cloudy cool Saturday and found the garden nearly empty. This proved delightful and I was able to get a whole lot of grand photos of the holiday lights at dusk and into darkness. It was magical. The autumn colors were a fine bonus.

Garden Lights is opening for the holidays! A wonderful, uplifting experience. Lots of fun for people of all ages: children, teens, adults and seniors. I saw a number of wheeled conveyances from strollers to powered carts to help those who are concerned about walking. Tickets are required. Timed entry.

It's a bit of a maze but the staff was very helpful and friendly. There are so many gorgeous attractions. I would say that the Orchid greenhouses were the coolest thing. Concessions are way overpriced. $4 for a water. Bring a refillable one.

It's a great place but not a lot of plants are bluming in fall. Mostly the leaves and the statue of Earth Goddess. It would probably be better in spring. You're better off getting tickets for the Christmas lights show at night.

What a BEAUTY. I went for the cocktails in the garden. The views were incredible. The signature cocktail I tried was not good. I went back to get a simple rum and pineapple for the rest of my journey. An overall well-kept garden. Refreshing for the eyes, nose, and soul. I will definitely be back next trip! More

Was there for the light show! First time attending the light show and was sooo pretty! Definitely a must visit if you haven’t. And there are lots of great photo opportunities. But beware there could be a lot of people.

What an amazing place! I took a road trip to see the garden for the first time. I bought tickets for the daytime as well as for the holiday light show. I arrived around 2:00 and left at 5:00, than returned at 8:00. One thing to keep in mind

We came to this place as part of our first visit to Atlanta and I have to say this may be my favorite place out of everywhere we visited. We were left speechless by the perfection of la landscapes and the beauty they have accomplished with

I didn't know what to expect coming here but it was such a pleasant experience and well worth the price. The pictures don't even compare to in-person. The ambiance, along with the scenery, was therapeutic in a way. Parking was a breeze,

I was super excited coming in but turned out to be disappointed. Maybe it’s because I came during the fall (thanksgiving weekend). I was not expecting to see the “spring” flowers of course but did not get to see much of any flowers. My

We love going to the botanical gardens. This was our first year doing the Christmas lights, and it did not disappoint. Although it was super busy and parking was horrendous we had an amazing time. Would highly recommend!

Love coming to see the lights with my family. The employees here are absolutely amazing and helpful. We were glad they had snacks and drink around the gardens. They even had a smores station. This is a must see!!! More

This is one of my favorite places in Atlanta to explore, it has only gotten better during the 30+ years I have visited! I love all the trails and different parts of the park. There is always something new to see. More
