I went in late May. Nice garden, not the most well-maintained but it's still a good experience.

Very nice place. I was expecting a little bit larger area but still I liked it. Nothing compares to Butchart Gardens in Victoria British Columbia Canada but I am happy I took some nice pictures. Free parking and reasonable admission price. I recommend while You visiting Milwaukee.

I have had the opportunity to visit this place many times in different settings. This place has so much to offer from the Botanical Gardens to Whitnall Park. Please, don’t miss the chance of visiting during the winter time for their Christmas lights and the Chinese lights festival. You can also ask for special events like watching the Milwaukee Symphonic Orchestra, hosting a wedding in their rose garden or plan a field trip with your school.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is 2019 Tulip flower session started?

RAMAKRISHNAN ARUMUGAM | Jan 1, 2020
Caitlin Reading | Jan 2, 2020

Look for tulips closer to Mother's Day. As a marker look for daffodils to be in full bloom in the Milwaukee area. Traditionally tulips won't be far behind. Currently their foliage is about 1/3 to 1/2 emerged, by my observation around the county.

Why didn't you have a shuttle, not enough parking. I drove 150 miles from Janesville to just be turned away. Very disappointed.

Gloria L | Jan 1, 2019
Melissa M | Jan 2, 2019

The shuttles, two of them, were running when i went on oct 4. I know they had extra parking this year. They are extra busy on weekends. Week nights are always a better bet, and if it's cold and/or rainy you'll avoid crowds. They are running until Oct 21. Sorry you weren't able to find parking.
