This place is much bigger than I thought it would be and very beautiful. If you cannot get out and walk the trails you can drive your car around on the paved areas. The paved roads are all one way and can be tricky to drive on as they are quite narrow. I would not want to drive anything larger... More 

Four seasons outdoor spectacular and three botanical domes for temperate, tropical and arid conditions and one of the best Bonsai gardens available. Miles of hiking, more rare tree and shrub varieties than you'll ever see, cross-country skiing, great classes and events. Don't miss this if you love plants and forests.

If you are planning on doing any hiking here, be warned that the woods are COVERED in poison ivy. Even on the edge of the trails. The rest of the gardens are beautiful and worth a visit. There are several areas to have a picnic. Plenty of parking.

With a variety of indoor and outdoor gardens, plus hiking paths through natural areas, there is a lot to see here. Make sure you give yourself enough time to see all of the gardens, plus drive along the road that goes by the conifer garden. If you have even more time, you can go for a hike. There are bathrooms...

We stop here every time our family visits Michigan. Make sure to visit the bonsai area by the greenhouses, the kids are always amazed at the little trees. Typically on Thursdays in the summer they are pruning the bonsai trees and the volunteers are eager to answer any questions.

I was my first trip to Hidden Lakes Gardens. A large plot of land managed by Michigan State University. Several trails and a conservatory. It also has a "hot house" that houses many tropical plants. It was a great way to spend an afternoon enjoying and learning about nature.

We made a day trip out to see these gardens. These gardens are about a hour an a half from Detroit and about 30 minutes from Ann Arbor in the Irish Hills region of Michigan. There is a $3 per person fee to enter; they take credit cards. The grounds are beautiful, and many of the plants are well marked.... More
