Love it

Fantastic botanical garden with many features like Chihuly glass arts, and other sculptures, beautiful tropical plants and orchids, children’s garden area, cascading water falls, and many different seasonal flower displays, and many more features. A little pricey. But, it’s worthy it.

Visited here a few days ago for the first time, loved it the workers were very nice, wasn't very busy. And didn't have to pay for parking. It's a lovely smaller garden then the one in downtown Atlanta.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can kids ride the bike there?

Iulian | Oct 21, 2018
Cheryl | Oct 21, 2018

Not allowed, I think it's too easy for kids to ride into the exhibits or pedestrians. There are miles of bike trails all around there, family friendly and easy.

Can I bring my bicycle?

Kimberly Kay | Mar 24, 2022
Atlanta Botanical Garden, GAINESVILLE | Mar 24, 2022

Kemberly, no I'm sorry for the protection of the plants no wheeled vehicles are permitted inside the garden. The garden also is still quite small so bicycle riding would impede foot traffic.

Is this a great idea for a date for teenagers

Anastasia | Oct 20, 2021
Atlanta Botanical Garden, GAINESVILLE | Oct 20, 2021

Sure. If you like to be outdoors it's great. It's peaceful and beautiful, walking the garden would allow you to chat on your date as opposed to a movie where you can't get to know each other. Contrary to the other response we do not allow picnics to be brought into the garden.

Ann Drexler | Oct 20, 2021
Atlanta Botanical Garden, GAINESVILLE | Oct 20, 2021

We will likely not have a Christmas light display on the level of our Atlanta location's. We do hope to have holiday luminaries at some point in the not-too-distant future. For now we have our Holiday Tree Trail for the month of December which is about 20 decorated trees nestled into the Garden path.

Kimberly, the 15 minute timed ticket is window allows us to both allow guests to socially distance at check in and keep the total garden capacity low to allow guests to enjoy the garden with plenty of "elbow room". You may stay as long as you wish, up until closing, once you have entered.

How handicap accessible are these gardens? My grandmother would love this but she is on a walker. Do they have wheelchairs that a person can borrow?

Katie Clements | Oct 21, 2019
Cyndilyn Loudermilk | Oct 21, 2019

Katie, Thank you for your question. The main garden in Gainesville is just over a half mile in distance with many benches and rock seating walls to stop on. We do have 2 wheelchairs free for use and one power scooter that rents for $10.00 plus tax. Your grandmother is welcome to bring her walker as well. Since the main garden is still small, it is very manageable for most seniors. We look forward to your visit.

Hi, Does the garden have an indoor garden with butterflies? Is this a non profit organization. I have a large collection of garden trains, track, bridges, etc. never used. Jim S

James Sharrock | Oct 21, 2019
Atlanta Botanical Garden, GAINESVILLE | Oct 21, 2019

James, we do not have indoor gardens in Gainesville. We are a non-profit. The garden has many species of butterflies in season. This time a year there are fewer but, some of the Monarchs are still present and many Cloudless Sulphurs. Volunteers maintain our train garden and I believe they are members of a North Georgia train enthusiasts group, they may be interested in your collection.
