On my most recent trip to Atlanta with a friend, we decided to purchase the CityPass ($69) and the Atlanta Botanical Gardens was one of the attractions included. With acres and acres of beautiful gardens including a Japanese garden, a rose garden, and an orchid garden, this is a beautiful place and is suitable for a variety of visitors -... more

This is a very kid-friendly place with the children park. The children's monuments could use a little face-lift. The park is expanding and the new parking deck is great. Great place to take photos. more

Gorgeous!!!!!!!! A real treat in this hectic and nightmarish traffic town. My only complaint is the parking but I did see construction that is dealing with the problem. more
