These gardens are gorgeous and well worth the price. We went at the end of May and so many flowers were in bloom. The staff is very helpful, and they are well staffed. My only complaints are that the white and red signs all over the place kind of interrupt the experience, and if you follow the arrows, you do not see all of the gardens. The map is also a little confusing. It took us about 3 hours to see everything, and we checked with the map to make sure we didn't miss anything. The Japanese gardens are my favorite, and they are gorgeous this time of year.

Awesome place for family or a couple to spend an hour or so. This place will let you stay outside and not melt because of calm shades of trees around the park. This park will be surprising you over and over again - plants and flowers just keep blooming, so you won't get bored visiting it once in a while. You'll find all you need on site: good parking, cafe, restrooms and, of course, a gift shop.

The gardens were a delight to see. This time of year, the daffodils are the main exhibit and they are beautiful! You are surrounded by a sea of gold and white. At the gate, maps are available for you to take one. The walking paths have many signs and arrows to guide you through the park so it is easy to maneuver. There are restrooms and a cafe at the welcome center. This a scenic and peaceful place to visit. I will definitely go back to view more exhibitions in the future.

20 MILLION DAFFODILS!!! 200 million smiles!!! I loved everything about Jim Gibbs labour of love, well except Katy inside the store but even her attitude couldn't ruin the magnificent flowers here. I am truly impressed by the dedication it took to plant these GA hills. Not extremely handicapped accessible, like wheels not so good, but mobile ppl can go slow which is the BEST way to enjoy each and every flower. I highly recommend for a peaceful day.

Is there an extra charge for the tram?

Mo Lima | Jun 26, 2018

Yes there is a $5 per person charge. You can pay for the wrist band at the ticket desk when you come in to ride multiple times. Or you can hand the tram driver $5 if you decide to ride later. The wrist band is better.

We were there few days ago, we didn’t enjoy it. The gardens wasn’t what we expected there are not much flowers and the gardens is not well taking care . We went in with a group of 15 people . The only best time to go there is the month of October

My husband and my experience has been the opposite. It's a wonderful unique experience every time we go. Different kinds of flowers bloom at different times of year. You can checkout the blooming schedule on their website: https://www.gibbsgardens.com/visit/whats-in-bloom/ Also, to the comment that the gardens aren't taken care of is rubbish. The gardens are very well taken care of. We have visited in mid March, mid May, and the beginning of October. Each time was gorgeous in a different way, but our favorite is always the Japanese garden eventhough the rose garden is fabulous and the mansion is gorgeous, there's nothing quite like Japanese garden. You most not have check out the blooming schedule before attending and must have been expecting flowers that bloom at a different time of year, but never had the garden looked like it wasn't amazingly tended to. You might need to get your eyes checked.

Your tulips were beautiful in bloom and a stunning addition to the daffodils! I was just curious how you keep the squirrels from eating the bulbs in such a heavily wooded area?

Marilyn Meggs | Jun 25, 2018
Michael Hutchinson | Jun 26, 2018

Unfortunately you are asking a public forum and not the gardens themselves. I would suggest going ro their website and emailing them direct.
