We really enjoyed walking around the gardens of the Atlanta Botanical Garden but the Orchid House made it worth the price of admission. It was amazing. More

From within the green oasis known as the Atlanta Botanical Garden you can look out at Piedmont park or up to the modern urban landscape of Mid Town Atlanta. The shaded canopy walk is a delight as is the sculpture exhibition and the permanent collection. The Fuqua orchid house is a must as are various water features. My wife thinks... More

Enjoyed all the different plants and the statuary. Don't miss the orchid house. The children's garden has some fun statuary. They have gardens from various regions of the world. Hard to describe but well worth a visit. More

We live here and our members of the ABG. Every time we go we see something new and different. Activities for all ages or just walk the gardens. Truly a spectacular thing to do if you are visiting from out of town. More

The garden was nice if a bit pricey at $19. The orchid house was especially interesting - perhaps one of the best I have seen. The water plant garden was a bit of a disappointment. The Japanese garden was a bit out of proportion - of course that can be a matter of taste and education. More

Love the relax feeling once you step into it. This place is not so big like other place but it is just enough for you to stroll around, look at some interesting flowers and plant. Beautiful with Atlanta back drop view in the back More

The Botanical gardens in Atlanta are well kept and a nice afternoon out. The cost for a ticket is $20.99 and you can spend about 2 to 4 hours here based on how quickly you get around the gardens. The gardens are split up into different areas for visitors to wonder around, the best part of the park is the... More
