Botanical Building and Lily Pond reviews

Took the trolley and hopped off for a stroll around the grounds. Relaxing and beautiful area, full of history and lots of things to photograph...textures, colors, architecture. more »

Good for a ten or 15 minute walk through to see the plants. Lots of begonias but they weren't in bloom. Interesting structure which provides shade for shade-loving plants. more »

So beautiful in here! There is plenty of walking space, but can get a little crowded. The space isn’t that big inside and we were able to walk through the whole thing in 10 minutes. It was quite cool inside temperate wise and this garden is free entrance. There are many interesting plants in here and would definitely recommend a walk through if you’re at the park.

Beautiful plants of many variety. They had pumpkins displayed for the fall season. Most plants, you cannot touch, but they have a section of plants that you can touch to smell. Free admission, but it is only open on certain days and hours. Nice for a quick walk around and some nice pictures.
