Longwood Gardens

What a beautiful place! Yes, there's construction going on in one area but it doesn't distract from the whole gardens. Definitely bring your walking shoes and a folding chair. You will walk a lot but it's so worth it. Your chair is for when you sit and watch the fountain show, which is a definite must do. The Idea Garden is beautiful and so were the dahlias that were in bloom. Beauty is everywhere and the benches are placed to sit, rest your feet, and enjoy it all. We hit every area and enjoyed it all. My favorite was the Fountain show and different Lights show that are around the property. My only issue was not enough trash cans. We didn't want to miss anything so we picked up drinks and a snack and kept walking around. Then we were carrying our empty containers for quite a bit before we found a trash can to dispose of it properly. All in all..... a terrific day with beautiful night time shows to end it. Definitely a must see. If close enough, become a member!

Been here twice already in the last couple years, absolutely gorgeous garden grounds! They change some things up once in a while and run special events. I highly recommend getting tickets in advance to save time(and possibly money!) Lots of incredible photo ops and beautiful nature to take in.

Superb!! Father's Day out with the family couldn't be more perfect. Very lovely pre-summer day, hot sun, low humidity, light breeze!! The water fountain ⛲"dance" , very entertaining and being downwind could get a bit misty from the spray. Indoor garden pricey, delightful. So many plant species and varieties and all the colors of summer, wonderful! Plan to do a lot of walking, come early stay late. Food was a bit pricey. Bring your own. It's a great place to spend with good people, family and or friends. Kudos to the staff, always pleasant!!

Wow, what an amazing experience! We went courtesy of tickets from a friend and ended up getting the annual membership for 5 since we enjoyed it so much and wanted to share the experience with family and friends. Everything was beautiful even during their winter season. We're looking forward to seeing the fountains in action and everything in full bloom when the weather gets nicer. For this time of the year, it was very busy but didn't feel crowded due to size of their grounds. Very rich with history and amenities galore! Lots of food and adult and child beverage choices as well. Very easy to navigate paths and trails for all ages. Excellent signage and maps to navigate your way. The staff were all very friendly and helpful! Highly recommended!
