After seeing the amazing Chihuluy exhibit a few years ago we became members. We just saw the new mosaiculture exhibit and its really amazing. My favorite was the 30-foot cobras but my wife like the ogre. Definitely worth a visit, both for the mosaicultures and for all the great blooming flowers!

I was much more impressed than I expected to be. The gardens are very extensive with trails that walk through the woods opening on vignettes and special living sculpture surprises, including a giant dog, unicorn and Earth Goddess, as well as green houses for tropical plants and orchids, a children's garden, an edible garden, flower gardens and a number of...

The lights exhibit was beautiful, and though it was cold outside the tropical garden was steamy and inviting. Such a beautiful place; don' miss the brige!

Incredibly beautiful garden for strolling and talking and kissing. Go when they have guests art exhibits. Chihuly, Niki de Saint Phalle, Henry Moore, kinetic art, and Garden Lights have all been amazing. The current mosaiculture show is fabulous.

My family visited the garden as an extension to our science study. I have three bouncing boys so I had some concerns with our visit. I wasn't sure if acres of flowers would hold their attention or if visitors would appreciate my bouncing boys romping throughout the garden. However, my boys thoroughly appreciated the various displays of plant life. They... More

Looking for a centrally located place to just unwind and be enchanted? Visit the Atl. Botanical Garden. We toured twice this spring to see the Atlanta Blooms and enjoyed the spectacle of a million plus daffodils and tulips and the Surrealistic Orchid display in the Fuqua conservatory. This May we will be back to see the fantastic huge topiaries. Year... More

If you are in Atlanta, it is a must see. Very creative. Well laid out. Great place for a lazy walk. Bring your camera.

Atlanta's is not noted for many places to take out of town guests, being more of a business center than a tourist one. However, the botanical gardens are a pleasant exception.
