Josh WeissJune 7, 2018Been coming here for 20+ years. A delightful urban oasis. Good restaurant and also snackbar. Check out the orchids. Children's garden has fountains to play in. Great summer concert lineup.Upvoted Oct 24- AtlantaMarch 13, 2014Spring is the perfect season to visit the Atlanta Botanical Garden and experience its beautiful plant collection, as well as the canopy walk, edible garden and cascades garden.Upvoted Oct 11
Nicole LingnerJuly 6, 2015Best place in town for a date! And make sure to go to "The Cafe at Linton's" for dinner, locally farmed, fresh & delicious food!!! So romantic outside at the fountain :*)
A great value for singles, as well as families. Good parking. Walkable. Beautiful. Enough horticultural depth for those who just look, the academic scientists, and the designers.
Colt BowenJanuary 19, 2019A fantastic getaway inside the city. There is a conveniently located parking garage on site. Be sure to visit the “garden lights, holiday nights“ during the winter holiday season
jeyoDecember 28, 2015Gorgeous gardens right in the heart of Atlanta, parallel to Piedmont Park. There are places to eat within the gardens, and great shows. See the Christmas Garden Lights!
The Ritz-CarltonSeptember 14, 2016After seeing Dale Chihuly’s exhibit on display at the Atlanta Botanical Garden through October, make a stop in the Conservation Greenhouse to see endangered plants featuring a variety of orchids.
The light show during the holidays is a must. Grab a drink at one of the bars along the way and take in the magic.
Steven AndrophyJanuary 17, 2017The holiday garden lights are sensational, but I'm not sure if it's worth the full price ($30+). I recommend coming right at 9pm--they drop the price and you'll still have 2 full hours to explore.
Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesMay 30, 2012MetroFresh in the Garden is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a snack or meal made from the freshest ingredients. You can even order ahead for concerts in the garden.- The Ritz-CarltonMarch 23, 2017View orchids in new and exciting way at the Atlanta Botanical Garden during “Orchid Daze.” Visit the exhibit at night for a romantic date night.
John KraftDecember 19, 2022Good all year, but go for the Garden Lights exhibition at Christmas. Get tix early & beware traffic to get in.
Athelia CJuly 6, 2018Current topiary exhibit is fun. The Canopy Walk and Japanese Garden are my favorite permanent features.
Jennifer BDecember 11, 2014A little pricey, but gorgeous. Be sure to check out the holiday lights - they are spectacular. Grab an adult hot chocolate and make s'mores. Very wheelchair accessible.
This Is My SouthSeptember 6, 2014Explore the plant life, flowers and art pieces by Chihuly, as well as the special exhibits that change seasonally. Read more
Na Na B.December 24, 2015I purchased some Garden of Lights tickets to see tonight but the weather is so bad. Staff was nice enough to refund my money back to me, due to to the weather. Will be back next year.
Brig WatsonNovember 25, 2014Come for the Christmas lights in November and December. Smore's, drinks, and beautiful lights make for a good time
Atlanta MeetingsJuly 29, 2013With more than 30 acres of gardens, forest, wildflower trails and the 10,000-square-foot Fuqua Orchid Center, the Atlanta Botanical Garden is one of Atlanta's most beautiful attractions.
Check out their programs. Went to a cooking demo in the herb garden and made terrariums as part of their family program.
- The Ritz-CarltonFebruary 20, 2013Take a stroll through the Fuqua Conservatory, an organic biosphere at the nearby Atlanta Botanical Garden, and enjoy the various collections of tropical palms and conifers.
Meg B.October 17, 2017Amazing scenery with beautiful exhibits inside the gates. Ghetto thieving hoodrats outside the gates. Unsafe parking area with high number of vehicle break ins.
Expedition Mom @AtlantaWithKid and @GeorgiaWithKidsDecember 5, 2011Check out their new holiday lights show! Absolutely Beautiful! Try to go during the week. Getting busier on weekends and the closer we are to Christmas! Check out our website for the full review.
Alan PriceOctober 23, 2013To have this beautiful piece of paradise in the middle of the hustle and bustle, this is pretty amazing. Go see the water goddess, she is beautiful.
Benjamin SzwedaMay 26, 2015Highly recommend the current night light show. Open to 11pm; go for dark around 9p; get some wine (credit accepted) and walk around!
Jennifer BonerMarch 19, 2018Great place for family or dates. Love going for the lights in the winter!
Paula MadeiraDecember 30, 2017It is very beautiful, but if you ever decide to go, go for the Christmas lights. It is stoning. A true masterpiece!
Genesis Forest MgmtAugust 15, 2011Experience the a walk in the forest like no other. Tour one of the city's last remaining urban forests from 40 feet in the air on the Canopy Walk and enjoy a bird's-eye view of Storza Woods.
Ben TinsleyJune 24, 2012This is a somewhat pricey but incredibly well done botanical garden. In December, it is all lit up with Christmas lights, which is a romantic spectacle.
Allison LeachNovember 11, 2013When attending the after hours events in the garden it is smart to bring a flash light as the paths are not well lit. Recently attended the pumpkin carving event and was shocked by the safety issues.- Atlanta Botanical GardenNovember 16, 2012Garden Lights, Holiday Nights starts Saturday, November 17! Get tickets early at http://www.atlantabotanicalgarden.org/events-classes/garden-lights-holiday-nights
Lucille ButlerSeptember 3, 2016I was really enamored with the food garden and the tropical areas. So much vegetation, I really love it here!
Travis BagleyJanuary 31, 2015There is a lot of ground to cover but be prepared to drop $20 a person. In the off season the only thing to really see are the indoor orchid and tropical exhibits.
Ri StrydomDecember 21, 2015absolutely wonderful, check out the greenhouse!! the frogs and other critters there are great
- The Ritz-CarltonNovember 22, 2011At Atlanta Botanical Garden the orchid collection is divine, the edible garden intriguing, but for a taste of the high life stroll the 40ft-high canopy walk through the treetops.
Linda DevineAugust 7, 2015On the 7th row to see Colby caillat! Great venue but you have to get here by 5:30 to get the best seats.
Stephanie VallishOctober 9, 2011If you're doing Cocktail in the Garden, be prepared to WAIT on those cocktails! Totally worth it for a group. Also, ladies, be careful with your heels: lots of walking to be had!
Explore GeorgiaFebruary 21, 2013Enjoy one of the garden's most unique features, The Fuqua Orchid Center, which includes a High Elevation Orchid House and a Tropical Orchid House.
- The Ritz-CarltonJune 15, 2017As you explore, make your way to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. If you visit before October 29 don’t miss “The Curious Garden” during an afternoon.
- Explore GeorgiaDecember 17, 2012The things that sets the Botanical Garden apart from many light shows is that you can walk around the garden instead of sitting in your car.
- Atlanta Botanical GardenJuly 12, 2012Scarecrows registration is open! Enter your spooky, kooky creation and win.
Karina KerrSeptember 25, 2015Beautiful gardens and the pricing isn't bad. You can walk the entire thing in under 2 hours. Not much for children
Check ahead. There's always something new. Concerts there are better than Chastain - more relaxed and personal.- Atlanta Botanical GardenDecember 24, 2012Buy your tickets in advance for Garden Lights, we sell out quickly! http://www.atlantabotanicalgarden.org/events-classes/garden-lights-holiday-nights
Pinnacle PromotionsJuly 6, 2011Don't miss great summertime events like Salsa Day, which celebrates this favorite food with demonstrations, samples, and dancing the whole family can enjoy.
