A very cute and lovely garden to visit. A real labour of love by the owners who have grown 80% of the trees and plants from seed (so the explanatory sign said). It's all very ecological, they use brackish water to water the plants. When you arrive there's a board explaining the garden and when you pay (very reasonable fee) you're given a map with notes explaining the gardens different areas. There's a small coffee shop with comfortable outdoor seating. There's also their own plant nursery attached. Lovely plants and helpful staff. All in all a lovely way to spend a couple of hours, but check what the temperature is due to be before you go there, Eilat is hot!!!

The botanical garden offers a green oasis in the middle of the desert. A water stream runs in, building a mini-jungle around. The place offers many attractions for children and observation points to Eilat, Arava Valley and Aqaba surroundings.

Its small, but still worth to visit and see and feel the green and learn about different plants. Its nice to go with kids as well and enjoy for awhile. I hope they could expand it still more, the sound of cars bothers me a bit, but its not their fault really and its nice that they can have it in the city..

We came from Belgium and were shocked from the place. In the beginning they said us to put our bag by them, that we not will make their place dirty (??!) And in the end they told us to go away from the place for eating for everyone! That we not allowed to eat in place our kosher sandwich. Really disappointed. And we had seat outside on the ground with small kids to eat.

A charming and well-kept botanical garden. Located at the entrance to the city. Not so famous among tourists and that makes it even more special. Suitable for a romantic trip or a trip with the kids. Really recommended!

What we liked was that it was a calm and serene place, away from the hustle and busle of busy city life. There are trails, some marked, some not (disliked this part); some very accecssible to Senior Citizens, some not (disliked this part). There is swing for relaxation in a secluded area. There are benches. The view is lovely (the mountains of Jordan). Most of the trees are marked with their names, but some not (disliked that). Because it's winter, there weren't too many flowers, but plenty of petunias and pansies and snap dragon. There's a map for following the route. There is no access for Senior Citizens to go down to see the waterfall at its base because the stairs leading down have not railings and we were afraid we'd fall. Definitely a minus. However, we saw the waterfall from above. We really did enjoy our visit. It was quite relaxing. One admission fee (NIS 20, about $5.50) lets you come back within 36 hours. We didn't do this because round trip by taxi from Eilat's hotel area cost NI 51. But if you have a car, there's a parking lot. There's also a stand where you can purchase tea, etc. and also a nursery where you can buy plants. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I visited the botanical garden together with my two 6 year-olds and my parents. It is not easy to find a place that can be equally appreciated by all age groups (myself included), but the botanical gardens provided a relaxing afternoon for all. The staff is friendly and you can tell how proud they are of every leaf that they have nurtured in these charming gardens. It makes a great refuge from the more commercial atmosphere of Eilat.

First of all the Botanical Garden in Eilat is an unexpected place to find in the hot city of Eilat. The heat in Eilat can really wear you out!How awesome to find yourself in a garden in the desert. to find yourself in a mini- Rain Forest. It's very educational as well. After walking through the gardens and sitting a a quiet meditative spot somewhere you can enjoy a wonderful coffee in the little coffee area. To think that just a few years ago the only thing there were rocks, plenty, plenty rocks. It's a dream come true to make the desert bloom! Don't miss it!

The small botanical garden of Eilat is very nice. there are 9 stations you walk through and learn about. You will find there plants, trees, short walk in a rain forest. The place is unique since they managed to grow plants and trees which does not belong to the desert and although the hot desert weather in Eilat - the plants and trees grow and flowerish. There are many nice corners to sit, wooden furniture, small water pool and water fall, and a very good atmosphere. You can finish the tour in one hour and stay at the main area for another hour for coffee and relaxing. We really enjoyed it, and also asked the owners about the history of the place. It used to be an army camp 13 years ago..

A very friendly welcome, but not much to see. We enjoyed the tree house, the rain forest and the vehicles made of wood, but expected a proper garden, rather the just plants dotted around.
