Wonderful Japanese garden, and if you have little ones, don't miss the splash ground in the children's garden. Great secret summer cool down spot!

The garden's 40 acres include one of the largest and most diverse perennial gardens on the East Coast and the only classical, domed conservatory open to the public in the mid-Atlantic region.

Great place for sightseeing and seeing all kinds of flora. Visited during the LEGO and butterfly exhibits, enjoyed both as well!

July 4th is traditionally a free day for families, but don't think you're getting near the water area in the kids' garden. Pay admission and have your own space another day.

There is no wrong time of year for a visit! During Garden fest go to Espresso A Go Go for coffee treats in the back by the children's garden.

Beautifully landscaped gardens, something in bloom year round. Nice place to take a stroll with your someone special.

I wouldn't come just for the Water Play. Best suited for kids 4 and under. Smaller than Midlo Y water spouts.
