Had a great visit to this internationally recognized place--I didn't realize how deep they are into research here, behind the scenes. Lots of information about processes, purposes, but mainly, beautiful and wonderfully laid out gardens. I took a few pictures from the Japanese Garden that I use for my office screensaver, for goodness' sake! We've been there in the summer... more

They should take some notes from Powell Gardens, but then again I guess they are out of room. more

Missouri Botanical Garden has been around a long time (I have photos from 1960), but the gardens continue to evolve. Themed areas (Japanese Gardens, ecological displays, etc) keep the garden up-to-date, fresh and relevant to our times. We even got an idea for how to make our home landscaping more "green" and followed through with it (shredded rubber mulch). The... more

The Missouri Botanical Garden is absolutely tremendous and well worth a visit while you are in St. Louis, Missouri. We visited on a warm October day and the gardens were beautiful. There is more than I could take in during one visit. The gardens are beautiful, plants are identified, and benches are available so one can sit and relax as... more

Didn't know much about St. Louis before making the trip for a weekend. Decided on a whim to check this place out and were confirmed this was a good choice by some locals at the hotel. Parked in huge free lot and walked inside. Spent $16 on 2 tickets for the gardens and were directed upstairs to the entry. Once... more

We have been going to the gardens for 10 years and bringing a picnic lunch. We were greeted at the car by an unfriendly guard telling us there was no picnicing on the grounds, including the parking lot. While I understand the policies have changed, the way in which it was enforced was fairly hostel. Not to mention, I felt... more

Wondeful!

Absolutely beautiful! Loved the grounds. Spent at least two hours walking around. Came back home with great ideas for our own backyard. It's a must see for the young and old alike. It has something for everyone. Additional bonus - we were there on the Fourth of July and got in free! more

I live in St. Louis are and make it a point to visit the Botanical Garden a couple of times a year. By contrast, I haven't been to the Arch in 15 or 20 years. I have brought my little girl. now three, the last few times and she's have just had a blast, between the flowers, fountains, tropical rain... more

The gardens were very beautiful and extensive. The price was phenomenal compared to other gardens I have visited (only $8.00 per person). The garden was definitely a highlight of my vacation, and I highly recommend it to other travelers. more
