Very enjoyable and reasonably priced. I was surprised that bikes and runners were not allowed, neither are pets but after seeing people leave their trash it is understandable that they can only assume they would have to have staff to clean up after them too. The staff was very organized and you are left alone to enjoy your tour unless you ask for a guide. After parking you go inside to scan your prepaid ticket(s) and are given a map, restrooms are clean and at the entry/exit, the walk is enjoyable and there are several.benches in the shade to rest if you need to, the entire walk was well under 10k steps. Beautiful and very photogenic place to visit.

Attended a wedding this weekend. The gardens are beautiful. The large tent was set up near the water and there was a lovely breeze that took the edge off a hot evening

A wonderful place to explore! Beautiful art, nature scenery, and wildlife. We especially loved the Bottle Chapel; the little ones had so much fun with the different colors and textures. We were a little disappointed to have seemingly been too early to enjoy the butterfly house, but that just means we'll have to plan another trip.

Beautiful walk with the family here. The gardens are very well maintained. This would be a great venue for any sort of out door event, when things are blooming. In addition to the flowers and trees, there is also some wildlife you can come across. Turtles, egrets, osprey, etc. Takes between 1 and 2 hours to casually walk around the grounds. Wish that there had been butterflies in the butterfly house but maybe thats only filled during a certain time of year (wish they had a sign outside so that you knew that before carefully going through the double doors just to find nothing)

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Myself, my daughter and a friend will be in Wilmington North Carolina for vacation August 9th thru the 14th. What will we have to look forward to as we plan to visit here while we are in the area? Also am I allowed to take some other senior photos?

I was at the gardens 2 weeks ago for a family wedding. No one made any attempt to stop us from taking pictures of the scenery & it was beautiful! We were there after hours so i can't really comment on what is available during business hours. I feel sure that you will enjoy your time at the gardens. Have a great trip!
