A treasure in the heart of a city. Thanks to the vision of its Leu family founders, this first-class botanical garden estate adds to the experience of visiting the Orlando area. Do NOT miss it. Just an hour or two will add so much to your visit. I have to tell you this well-travelled couple of 5 continents was really impressed, and we recommend it to you without hesitation. We've been to many gardens and heartily suggest you include this in your visit.

Went there with my husband and mother a couple of weeks before Christmas. It was beautiful and peaceful! Most of the flowers were in bloom and they had an extensive collection of poinsettias around the gardens, very festive!! We took the house museum tour included with our entry tickets. Our guide, Eileen, was excellent and knew her stuff!! 😁 The house is packed with history and interesting stories! They had a “garden gnome” scavenger hunt which was a lot of fun!!

We are a retired Midwestern couple. We travel all over the world. We visit local botanical gardens wherever we go. We visited Leu gardens in February for about three hours; it did not disappoint! We absolutely loved it. The variety of tropical species was amazing and stunning. Plants, trees, etc were well labeled. Easy walking paths throughout (as well as restrooms). Convenient parking. Loved the ancient tropical forest/plants section. Camellia section was in bloom; gorgeous. Highly recommend Leu Gardens.

Great walking trails through gardens and forest. Seems like a lot of walking at first but once you've covered it, you'd be surprised how quick it is to walk through a second time. The tours though the mansion is only offered in the mornings and includes a flight of stairs. Interesting plants and the foliage plants are extremely colorful. At the mansion there is a butterfly garden with lots of butterflies, vegetable garden and an herb garden. They had a lot of glass butterfly art work when I was there. A lot of people there for relaxing, talking and snacking, members I assume. There's also a cemetery there. A lovely stroll.

Harry & Mary Jane Leu created a pretty unique legacy in Orlando namely the Camellia collection. This collection ranks among the largest in the United States and is one of the largest documented collections in the southeast. The Leus purchased their house (now the museum) and 40 acres 1936 and deeded the entire estate to the City of Orlando in 1962. Mary Jane’s rose garden is beautiful with a center spectacle of a fountain. The massive trees tower over the walkways and are covered in moss. It’s a southern charm. Magical place!

A lovely garden, we took extended family with us and all enjoyed following the trails, my nephew loved learning orienteering by following the map. The house is lovely too. Well worth a few hours for the peace and tranquility

Harry P. Leu Gardens are a beautiful and peaceful place close to Orlando and Winter Park. When we visited, we were fortunate to see Alex Heveri's "Glass in Flight." The glass and steel sculptures exhibited throughout the gardens were lovely and enhanced the garden spaces. As we strolled through the almost 50 acres of gardens, we enjoyed seeing the various plants and flowers in bloom. Unfortunately, we did not go on a tour of the Leu House.

What a lovely, peaceful place to take a walk and enjoy the foliage & lake front. It's not too large, so you can easily see a lot in 2 - 3 hours. There are benches throughout the property & lots of signs telling you what the plants are, some of which I'd never seen or heard of. You can easily return multiple times a year as the gardens continue to change. I'll certainly be back!

I went to Leu Gardens with a group of friends. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Parking was convenient, but I can imagine that during especially busy times it might be hard to find a parking place. Since we were there in the spring many plants were just starting to bud. However, even without many of the plants in full-flower it is a very beautiful place. There are majestic live oaks, bamboo, a rose garden, a white garden, tropicals, and many more beautiful plants. It is well-maintained and kept very well. We did see quite a few birds including a cardinal and an owl. I recommend a visit to Leu Gardens.

This is such a beautiful place. So interesting to see the different variation of flowers, colors, and green. Butterflies (glass and real) abound. Our kids (3 teens) loved the lizards and were thoroughly entertained for about an hour and a half. A win for all of us.
