The Super Bloom at the Atlanta Botanical Garden was such a beautiful sight and happy I got to see it. Tickets run about $26.95 for standard adult admission, with slight variations depending on the day and if purchased online or in person. Given the sheer scale of the grounds, it feels like a fair value. I went on a weekday, which I highly recommend. Parking is incredibly straightforward, you park right on-site at the SAGE Parking Facility. It starts at $3 per hour, but keep in mind that the garage is entirely cashless, so you will need a card. Also if there is an event at Piedmont Park, parking may be impacted. Check-in was quick, and while there were visitors, it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The entire experience flowed smoothly from start to finish. This is perfect for a solo adventure. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary with the Super Bloom display, and it showed. There were over 200,000 tulips and spring bulbs throughout the garden. When I reached the Great Lawn, it opened up into a full sea of color. The visual texture of so many layered, vibrant petals blooming all at once was stunning. Each section felt different. One moment I was surrounded by vibrant florals, the next I was walking through lush greenery that felt almost like a rainforest and the air was so clean. It naturally slowed me down in the best way. The Orchid Daze exhibit was a highlight for me. It was calm, lightly fragrant, and tucked away enough to feel like a quiet escape. I ended up staying longer than expected. It would have been nice, if they had more dedicated seating areas. There weren't many spaces designed for just sitting and being, closer to the flowers especially if you wanted to relax without being in the middle of foot traffic. The grounds were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. There were also great spots for photography, I saw everything from casual photos to full-on portrait sessions. On-site Dining If you plan to stay for a while there is a restaurant on-site, which is convenient. The menu was simple, light bites, sandwiches, and seasonal options. Pricing was about what you'd expect for a major attraction, averaging around $25 to $40 per person for a casual lunch. Overall: A way to slow down and take things in. Peaceful, beautiful, and worth the visit. I'm already curious to see how it will transform for summer. read more

Atlanta Botanical Garden - Botanical Gardens Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Went with the kids for an afternoon and it was a solid way to spend a few hours, though not a slam dunk with the younger one who lost interest faster than the adults did. The Conservatory was the highlight, with orchids and enough going on to actually hold their attention for a while. Admission and parking adds up fast for a family and felt like the biggest strike against the trip. The grounds are well kept and the canopy walk gives a decent view over woods, Piedmont Park is right next door, so we wrapped up in the garden and let the kids run around the park for the second half of the afternoon/. Works well as a pair with the park if you're looking for a way to spend two hours or so. read more

My experience at this botanical garden was pretty mid. Not worth the $35 paid in my opinion. The garden overall was pretty neat and clean. A good place to walk around. However, the variety of plants and exhibits weren't very impressive. It was also disappointing to see the lady flower landmark not fully ingrained with flowers around late April. The most impressive part to me were the greenhouse plant exhibits. There was a good variety of plants there from different corners of the world. The outdoor exhibits were just not that interesting. Parking is an additional charge, so my friend and I did free street parking nearby and just walked to the entrance. They also have a couple food options within the gardens. My friend and I got some popsicles for $5 which was nice since it was pretty humid at the time we went. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend, but I didn't have a terrible time here. read more

Beautiful. Loved that they had so many tulips! They're my favorite flower! There's a cute little playground for kids there. Also exhibits you can walk through. We were there with my niece and my brother in law saw a little boy in the play structure with his pants down pooping. Parents really need to watch their kids... Other than that, it was beautiful. read more

What an amazing place to visit! A friend showed me pictures of her visit here a few years ago so I knew that when I returned and had time this would be one of my stops. My granddaughter enjoyed the children's play area and spent some time there with her dad and myself. She didn't wanna leave when she realized she could build a shelter. The children's area has so many options that it helped make our visit even more fulfilling for everyone. I didn't realize how expansive and extensive the grounds are. If I lived in Atlanta, I would have a membership. We noticed many people taking pictures and having photo shoots, which made sense. There are so many golden spots at I don't think you can lose. I would definitely return and recommend that you visit if you haven't been here and you are in the Atlanta Georgia area it's right by Piedmont Park. read more

One of my fav spots in Atlanta on a pretty day! They are always working on beautiful exhibits and something new to see. These are photos from Spring '26 and it was amazing!! One of my favorite visits I've ever had! I will say it gets very crowded on the weekends, so if you can do a weekday visit that's best!! Parking also gets full, so if you aren't able to get a spot, there is street parking around. read more

We got the family pass. It's a no brainer if you are going to go at least twice in a year. Best to go during the week. They are even open until 9 pm in the summer. Less busy during the week around 6 pm. Beautiful grounds and nice shade. We went during the Niki sculpture exhibit, which was pretty cool. Love the orchid house. read more

I have been taking my students here on a field trip for years, before the Canopy Walk. Every one of my students love it now as they did then. From the vibrant colors of the flowers, to the Rainforest and seeing the poisonous tree frogs, we are amazed! The walk is not too long and cooking in the morning hours is the best. Keep in mind, that a lot of moms come with their babies and toddlers, so prepare elementary kids to move gently throughout the garden. As we study plants in my Science class, bringing my students here enhances their learning experience. We will continue to come back for this great experience. read more

This place is a feast for the senses! Twists and turns and unexpected surprises! Beautiful water ways and sculptures. Thoughtful seating throughout and plenty of fun things to find-- like a tiny door ;) The conservatory front lawn was under construction while we visited but we could still get into the building to view their orchids etc. There was not one bad thing to say about this place. It's extremely child friendly and the kids section was so large and beautiful! Tons of opportunity for hands on exploration and a large splash pad for kids to enjoy! It's pretty well encased so those who opt out of that won't risk getting wet by proximity. There are loads of restrooms and family restrooms at that! There are nice restaurants and snack hut along the way that gave us some yummy ice pops which truly hit the spot! The gift shop had loads to choose from but it was extremely tight in there and hard to navigate with kids. We loved our time here and would absolutely return! read more

The Alice In Wonderland exhibit was one for the books! The garden is very large and you can spend at least 2hrs there, so bring comfortable shoes. Rain or Shine you'll have a great time. If you appreciate nature & art, you'll love this exhibit. I believe they change exhibits seasonally, but check the website and Book your tickets!! read more

Absolutely loved this botanical garden. We hesitated about visiting at first because it was a hot July day, but since we were just in the area for a few days, there wasn't the option of returning at a cooler time. I can say even with the hot weather I am glad we made the decision to visit. Tip: get there at opening if possible. The summer theme was Alice in Wonderland and they had some creative and beautiful topiaries that went with the theme. The topiary of the queen playing croquet with the flamingo was truly stunning. There were multiple gardens each with different themes and styles. Several had lovely sculptures showcased. The conservatory was huge. It had numerous rooms with different "climates". The orchid room was lovely with a myriad of orchids displayed in artful ways. There was also an edible garden. It was full of herbs and vegetables and edible flowers. They had a kitchen exhibition with tastings in this garden. The recipe of the weekend was an amazing fried okra -with samples! There is a parking garage on site as well as a restaurant and a cafe. Plan to spend a minimum of 2 hours and perhaps more. Well worth the price of admission. read more

Came here for the Cocktails in Wonderland event with my husband and friends and had a great experience! The gardens are absolutely beautiful, with different and interesting gardens every few feet. Most of the gardens are outdoor, with something buildings that house plants as well. During the event, there were beverage and snack stations setup throughout the park, and walking around with cocktails and beers, while enjoying the beautiful gardens and live music was absolutely wonderful. We had a great time, and I'd absolutely love to come back here again. read more

I have had a Membership to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for Two Years, but have never had a chance to go. I have always been one of the "I gotta get there soon" kind of people, and soon has never seemed to come. However, this past weekend, it finally came. As we celebrated my sister's 34th birthday, she wanted to walk the Alice in Wonderland exhibit. As such, we decided to gather as a group and do an exhibit walk to enjoy the sights together. Arriving at the Atlanta Botanical Garden was smooth. The parking was simple as the signs were easy to follow and there were ample parking spots. Once parked, it was easy to navigate to the front entrance for check-in as well. The exterior of the Atlanta Botanical Garden presents as a visual draw on its own. The wood and water design capture your attention as the natural scales of nature feed into the man-made features of benches and signage as you are guided to the entrance doors. This is a great play on art and nature as they come together to set the tone. As a member of the Atlanta Botanical Garden, I was able to bypass the ticket window and head directly inside to the gate for check-in. The agent was all smiles and very pleasant. Once I was welcomed in, I was met with a map to help guide my adventure and assist me in not getting lost. After we got through the main foyer area and walked into the main outdoor area it was nothing but moment after moment of visual capture and eye-pleasing sensations that set such a calming tone for the moment as you walked the path and took in all that the Atlanta Botanical Garden had to offer. As we continued through the side of Enchantment on the path to Wonderland, all I could think of was Peace, Tranquility, and Artistic Genius Craftsmanship. Arriving at the Alice in Wonderland Exhibit within the Atlanta Botanical Garden was nothing short of breathtaking. Detailed as a moment to "Tumble down the rabbit hole for the final chapter of larger-than-life plant blooms inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in Atlanta's Urban Oasis. Alice's Wonderland features 38 larger-than-life sculptures in seven installations inspired by Lewis Carroll's timeless tales, plus Shaggy Dog and the now-iconic Earth Goddess, two pieces in the Garden's permanent collection from the 2013-14 exhibitions Imaginary Worlds: Plants Larger Than Life and A New Kingdom of Plant Giants. Let imagination be your guide as you enter the Garden through giant Storybooks. Discover Alice spinning in a whirl of teacups and playing cards. Watch out for the Queen of Hearts and her Chess Set army as you greet the new Singing Flowers on your approach to the 27-foot-tall White Rabbit floating in the Skyline Garden, where you'll also encounter the toothy grin of the Cheshire Cat." the exhibit is exactly as it is written. As you walk through Wonderland, you are engrossed in the world of Alice and all that you can remember from the tale. As you take in each creation, you are taken back to the scene when the character is first introduced or to their most memorable scene. Furthermore, the placement of each character is sheer genius. Instead of one after the other positioning, you have a strategic placement of each curation as it sets not only its own tone but shares its own expression as well. It's as if the set forms its own story within the overall story within Wonderland. Best of all, as you think it can get no better... the Queen of Hearts takes it all!!! This is a design that stops you dead in your tracks and commands your full attention. You will respect the Queen and Bow Downnnnnnn!!!! read more

While in town we decided to come check out the gardens since they had the Alice in wonderland displays. On a hot day make sure to have on comfy clothes, sun block & bug spray way too many Plants & trees! U go about your own pace here so much to see, the Alice in wonderland displays were very cool. Lots of flowers & things to see, a cooking demo was cute since it was prepare with the veggies grown on the property. Cute animal area w the crazy looking poisonous frogs, the hot & cool area for the various trees all pretty interesting to see. This place is very big, lots of walking with plenty to see it was an enjoyable afternoon. read more

I've not been to the Atlanta Botanical Garden in like 20 years, so it was good to revisit! And I especially dug the Alice in Wonderland theme. The book characters were smattered throughout the green space in addition to what looked like regular landscaped scenes. I loved the Goddess area. It made me feel a level of calm and it felt very serene there. I went on a summer day in July...I don't recommend doing this. I'd say visit these gardens between fall and spring for more enjoyability. Despite the season, there was a food and drink vendor and I was able to procure water and a frozen treat. Overall, good visit, but it is important to note these gardens don't allow any outside food and drink. I feel we should at least be able to bring water inside. Making folks buy water on a hot day is inhumane. read more

such a delightful experience coming to see the Christmas even at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. I came with friends but think this would be such a romantic date night. it is outside so dress warm depending on temps. the price was 39.95 a person but if you are budgeting after 9pm it's half price. Also parking is kinda a pain so if you give yourself time or try uber. they also had nice spaces to make s'mores and have themed cocktails read more

My experience was only for the Garden Lights event. While we got there at dusk, and the property seems big and beautiful, I couldn't get a sense for the botanical part of this in the dark. As for the holiday lights - we all thought the experience was just OK. It's definitely popular given the massive crowds, even after Christmas. I thought for such a large event with so many people, they did a good job with the basic logistics of parking, ticket scanning, and herding everyone in. The parking garage though is a bit of a cluster, and the elevators that only went down confused many groups I saw (these are NOT the elevators you want btw). The light displays were alright - I guess we just expected more. The highlight is the light show synced with music through the dark boardwalk. There are a few light tunnels, and a big display by the orchid room - but honestly, that's it. I thought for a $50 entry that there would just be more of it, and more wow-factor. read more

Went here on April 23rd and the weather was perfect. Came here with the family, and it was amazing. The only thing that sucked was a that a lot of areas were closed due to renovation. I wish they would have said something when we were going in. They should have offered a little discount since renovations and private events were happening at the same time. But on a more positive note the children's garden was pretty neat. read more

It's pricy but it's a great place to spend a few hours and see lots of neat displays. There's a large orchid room, lots of neat sculptures, and other events going on. Be sure to check the map in order to get to every corner of the park, there's no point in not seeing everything since it's pretty compact and you paid to get in. Also, you might want to splurge for the all access pass to gardens all over the country, if you travel much or if there are more gardens in your area to see for free with the pass. read more

Was quite underwhelmed with this during my daytime visit in November. My friends went to the AIW exhibit earlier in the summer and that's what I had wanted to see but realized this morning it was over. I decided to go anyways and should have spent my $ elsewhere. It is set up for the Holiday light display, but since it was daytime, obviously nothing was lit. Being November, hardly anything outside was in bloom. The indoor area was nice but we kept getting stuck behind tour groups of people that were moving at a snail's pace. The $30 price tag was not worth it, plus you have to pay for parking. The facilities are well maintained and there are lots of staff around if you need help. read more

I love this place, they change it up per season or holiday. I went during the fall so they had a lot of scarecrows pumpkins and nice foliage. The sculptures were beautiful and the scare crows were creative. The gardens had many acres of land so there was a lot to see and indoor exhibits as well. They had a wonderful restaurant/cafe with large windows and outdoor seating if you chose. The aromas of food smelled delicious. They also have a wonderful gift shop. I would love to come back in the spring or summer to explore more floral and green garden arrangements. It is magical, family friendly or great for a date. It is a spectacular attraction with plenty photo opps read more

If you are looking for an outing by yourself, a partner, family or friends, this is a good option. They have places for you to sit and enjoy nature. They have a lot of different exhibits and the whole garden is beautiful. I bought the dual membership since I am sure to go back again with my boyfriend. It wasn't THAT expensive for being annual and it lets you go in when you want and it comes with two extra passes for a friend (one time use per guest pass). Plus, I believe they have member only days. I went a few weeks back with my friend from out of town and she also really enjoyed it. I do recommend using comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk a lot, read more
