My family spent a couple of hours waking around Lauritzen Gardens and enjoyed our time. We took our 3 children, ages 5-9, to see the Lego dsiplay and they found the Lego animal displays as "cool." Plenty of parking is available. It cost us $18 for 2 adults and 2 kids over age 6. Under 6 was free. Lots of... More

Sorry to say this was a disappointment. It was Christmastime and the poinsettias were pretty and the train set was nice, but it was hardly worth the price of admission. Maybe it is better when the outside is in bloom, but then the admission ought to change with the seasons.

We had the privilege of attending a wedding on the grounds. Quite lovely with a large variety of flowers. It was an out of doors wedding but did have a nice building for the reception.

You won't be disappointed. From the ponds at the entrance, to the lovely indoor garden, to the great exhibits (check their web site calendar - recently they had a Lego exhibit!) and the wonderful gift shop, with Pottery Barn-like home decor, beautiful note cards, jewelry and other beautiful gift items, this is a must-see. Make sure to go out back,... More

The day I experienced this garden, it was cool, windy and early spring so none of the bulbs nor flowers were in bloom. There are lots of egg shaped sculptures by Asian artist adorning the gardens, however after just visiting Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina, this garden almost looks bare in comparison. I need to experience this garden when it's... More

My husband and I went here on our anniversary weekend. I have been to many botanical centers and this one is very large and has a lot of unique features. Most of it is outdoors.

Visited during their "Lego" display. Wonderful gem of a venue. It was a little crowded for the space they offer on the day we were there, but hit this place on a day where attendance may be a bit off. Its a great stop to relax and let the kids move around.

This surprised me how big the gardens really are. They are almost as big as the zoo next door. You obviously want to go from the spring to the fall. I seen the coolest train set in the world. Don't forget that the have the building to see but then you take the road out back down the hill and... More

We are members at the gardens and love to visit year round. They have wonderful indoor exhibits and events for adults and children. The railroad garden is especially wonderful for kids.
