It’s such a gorgeous place to visit!- Jay ThibodeauxOctober 30, 2017I went to take pictures and turned out to be one of the best locations for in the city. Especially for wedding photography it's spot on. You have to get permission prior but that's no problem.

A place to enjoy nature and family- Dylan LewisNovember 13, 2018Beautiful garden with a huge variety of plants. There is so much to do and see. Ability to host parties and events in a gorgeous location. Just a few minutes drive East of the University

Holiday Wonders in the Garden 2020 is well worth the trip.
Beautiful facilities for a wedding. The event coordinator is awesome, and the atmosphere is serene and romantic.

Todd BarberMarch 17, 2010Feed the fish. Get food from the main desk, but go when it is warm. The water must be above 50 degrees before they will let you feed them.
Check out Snowy Nights! Hot chocolate, lights, snow and arts & crafts! Lots of fun for the kids!
The seasonal spring/ summer farmer's market is a great place to pick up local made foods & products. 
Make sure to grab some Mama D's Italian Ice while you're at the Wednesday Farmer's Market
