“Gorgeous!”

Reviewed May 26, 2012 NEW

We spent over three hours walking through everything offered at the gardens. It is beautiful. If you're not a garden/nature lover then this place definitely isn't for you. If you are a garden lover then you will really enjoy this place. There are so many sculptures nestled in various gardens of beautiful flowers, bushes, trees and ponds. We walked the... More

“Very Impressed”

Reviewed May 24, 2012 NEW

After seeing an advertisement for Brookgreen Gardens on the Myrtle Beach visitor channel, we decided to visit. We were heading to Murrells Inlet anyway. You pay for admission which is good for 7 days. There is so much to see and do, I can't imagine doing it all in one trip. We only visited the zoo and butterfly house. The... More

“A day you will never forget.”

Reviewed May 21, 2012

I liked everything about Brook Green Gardens. A great place for taking photos, picnik area, Zoo, Restaurant and fabulous sculpture and Alligators in their natural settings. There is so much to see that it will take a day or two to see everything. Tickets are good for 7 days. Our family visit's Brook Green at least twice a year. More

“Must-see Gardens/Sculpture”

Reviewed May 18, 2012

This is one amazing place. Ample free parking is available. It has many interesting things to do. Beautiful gardens, sculpture, fountains, ponds, zoo and picnic area. We planned on spending only a few hours, but we ended up spending more than 1/2 the day. We never saw everything. We will remember this place. Don't forget a camera and do take... More
