The Botanic Garden is one of my favourite places in Cambridge - a refreshing break from the hectic town centre. It's a shame that there isn't more information available about the different planting and beds. The cafe is lovely too.

My friend is disabled and finds walking difficult. We rang and booked a "Rascal" type electric scooter for her and it was ready when we arrived. The entrance fee was very reasonable indeed and the cashier put me down as my friends carer and so I got in free! The gardens are spectacular and there was nothing I didn't like... More

Great day out. Amazing in spring when all flowers are blooming. A must if you're in Cambridge at this time of the year.

Of course the weather makes a difference and on this particular day it was gorgeous. Greenhouses were in need of some TLC; a couple were shut off because of broken glass. Café was very welcoming with delicious food at reasonable prices. Would like to visit gardens again at a difference time of year.

Main interest lay in the scented garden where we also saw orange tip butterflies. In the woodland areas we saw bluebells, which we had missed elsewhere with the season being late. There were glass houses to visit, magnolias in bloom, and lots of other colour. There is cafe where we sat outside to have tea, toilets clean.

I have been going to Cambridge for 30 years and had never visited the Botanic Gardens, did not even realize that I had been driving past the gates for most of that time. So we decided to visit on a cold day in what should have been early Spring but was more like winter. A lovely place and with much... More

On a recent w/end visit to Cambridge, used the hop on / hop off tour bus to visit the Botanic gardens, well worth the visit. The gardens are, as others have stated a peacefull oasis with an invaluable collection of plant species. The restaurant is excellant and you cxan meander round the greenhouses, pond, etc so as others I urge... More
