Nice daytime trip. Beautiful gardens. It could be improved with signs at intersections to help determine where you are.

18 acres of winding trails through dense tropical plants. Highly recommend for a walk through with family! Our two year old especially enjoyed the children’s area with splash pad and pirate ship.

Wayne Stevenson | Sep 26, 2019

No I do not believe they do worry about that. However, there are plenty of other more productive places for them to spinntheir webs that you probably do not have to worry about walking in to one. Though that is not to say that you will not encounter one.

Louise M Riling | Sep 26, 2019

Prices mentioned are current. If you are new to visiting botanical gardens that isn't too bad. If you have been to a lot of gardens, as I have, it isn't much to see. Nice but not worth paying for in my opinion. The only prices posted there, were Adult, Senior and Chidren under 3. I thought it pricey for what it offered. I wrote a review earlier this month.
