My husband and I used the botanical gardens for our Union ceremony and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. We would recommend the location for anyone looking for a beautiful scenery among nature for an intimate ceremony. The lily pond, the Japanese garden everything was gorgeous and other guests of the gardens was very respectful.

Hands down the most beautiful campus gardens I’ve ever visited. The meticulous care for this space and all the different walking trails are over the top beautiful. It felt like walking into a magical garden in the center of a large city. A wonderful place to take a break and enjoy a peaceful nature walk. More

Was great to walk around this garden finally. Heads up if you go parking is on campus in a parking garage called East wing. It costed me around 11 dollars for a few hours. Admission to the gardens is free. It was nice but not as big as I had hoped, I am more impressed with Duke gardens back home.

What a beautiful place! Ed, the lead horticulturist, was welcoming and friendly, sharing some history of the gardens and some interesting plants. We went to the garden side one day and the Glen side the other. What a great place for UNC students to hang out with their laptops - so peaceful. More

The botanical Garden was very nice. It resembled more of a trail with different sections of mostly woody plants. It may be due to.the season, but a lot of the plants were dying and dried out. Overall it is great trail to hike or walk. Make sure you wear the proper attire.

This place is a gem! There’s so much to see here. My favorite was the greenhouses with their diverse plant life from all over the world. Free parking is very limited, so be prepared to pay to park in the garage (reasonable), and walk a short distance.

This place was bigger than I thought it would be. Opted to stick to the smaller side with the flowers, but will have to go back to hike around someday. Loved that so many things were labeled so you could identify the plants and flowers. More

This is such a good stop to make if you're in the area. The greenhouse is filled with beautiful plants and there's even some educational placards you can read. I loved the orchids and cacti. The last room just feels like you're in a jungle

What an amazing place to visit. It's free to go through, however, they do have a donations box if you feel so inclined. It is on campus so be aware of lots of pedestrians. The plants inside the greenhouse are beautiful and intriguing. Make

This is the most beautiful botanical garden I've ever seen. The greenhouses were full of plants I've never seen or heard of. Each greenhouse was different climate and had different kinds of plants. Made me literally want a greenhouse of my

Absolutely beautiful place! This botanical garden is very quite, has numerous plants and a quaint oasis. This place doesn't have any entrance admission fee, not crowded at all and inside university properties and maintained by university

The parking available to people just wanting to visit the botanical gardens is quite in-intuitively the "only handicapped" parking lot. There are a few specific spaces next to the building and then you have to sign in on a list with your

Visited in October 2020. With it being fall, the weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold. You can spend hours here walking the various trails. The trails are clean and well marked. A great place to enjoy nature and be alone in

Lovely place to spend the half of the day there. And a nice place for photo shooting. There is a lake, bridges, some Japanese monuments and wonderful trees, flowers and bushes. There you can find a storage for books. You can take one,

This is a great place for a nature walk and seeing flowering plants. Only wish they had more parking. Now they do have tons of handicap parking. Almost the entire lot is handicap. Only a few spots for non-handicap. This parking lot is

The gardens are always lovely and the staff and volunteers super knowledgeable and helpful. These pics are a few years old, but I love these gardens so much, I donated money to make sure I could have my engagement photos taken there.

A beautiful place to visit with my son during our stay in NC. The students were friendly and one helpful biology student showed us some of his favorite plants. We both enjoyed the serenity and beauty of the garden and greenhouse.

Went during the orchid event. It was smaller than expected but still fun and enjoyable. Also learned a few things on how to take care of such. It was also fun to walk through the greenhouse full of orchids.

Walk through an indigenous NC forest. See the squirrels and natural plants. Excellent day out. Also, visit the hothouse and see desert plants and rainforest plants and various orchids and succulents.

Nice place. It is free too (though if You enjoy it please donate a few dollars). There are two greenhouses, many trails, flowers, trees, much more. I didn't get to snap many photos.

Great experience. Only 5 parking spaces available close by. When you arrive you dign in at the green house. It's a beautiful spot, very well maintained and wonderful staff.

A really nice, quiet, and interesting place. The two sides of the outdoor area have their own individual sections of types of plants. Indoor similarly has a variety.

We really enjoyed our day here. I did have a 3 and 5 year with me who refused to wear sneakers that day so I would recommend leaving the flips at home for this one.

Such a beautiful and well-maintained garden. Relaxing to walk through and had picnic tables (but be careful, there are also tall sprinklers above some of them).

I love taking visitors and guests here. We usually spend about an hour walking through the gardens and greenhouses. Parking is easy, and the gardens are lovely.

1st visit - Amazing selections and variety...so very well thought out. The beauty of this well- cared for artistic garden overwhelmed my heart!

Super cute little nature path! Well done by the university and kept in excellent condition. Very good location for a quick walk in the woods.

Although the building has interesting plants, etc. and it's wheelchair friendly, the outside gardens have steps and gravel throughout. More

What a wonderful place to spend a couple hours... beautiful outdoor gardens and fantastic greenhouse...a must visit when in Charlotte

There are 3 areas to enjoy. The Greenhouse and the two park like settings across the street. All are wonderful.
