  • The Green Bay Botanical Garden is a lush oasis in an otherwise industrial city. The sizable grounds feature a massive variety of flowers, trees, and other foliage. There are enough plant lined walking trails to get some decent exercise. There is a visitor center with restrooms and a lovely gift shop where admission is collected. The fee for adults was $12.00 on the Sunday we visited. Many quaint and other impressive structures are scattered throughout the park. There is a massive amphitheater too. Currently, a splash pad and kiddie pool are under construction. The place is a must see for garden and nature lovers. It's a wonderful way to usher in the seasons as well. I have two left thumbs (neither one is green), but I definitely enjoyed it enough to go again.
  • Beautiful day at Botanical Gardens. The tulips were at peak!! The trails are always lovely to stroll along. Highly recommend coming in spring. This is the first year we came in spring and it was fabulous. It is pretty to come in the summer as well. There is a little bit of construction right now so part of the Gardens are blocked off.
