Reviews
"This place is well worth a visit if you are in the area. If you are a garden and plant enthusiast then this place is a must see! There’s a cement path throughout most of the gardens making it very accessible for someone in a wheelchair chair. The cement path leads you through multiple separate gardens that make up the entirety of the property. We spent about an hour and a half here but you could easily walk through the entire property in about 30 to 45 minutes if you didn’t stop to take in the sights. Dogs on leashes are welcome, as long as you keep them on the path. The admittance fee is 10 dollars but you can leave and come back as long as you hold onto to your receipt."
"The huge lily pads are awesome. Beautiful place to relax and take in all of nature also a perfect place to take pictures. We went in late September. You could easily do it in 30 mins if you didn't stop and take it all in. We spent about an hour here."
"it was peaceful and beautiful..about a 40 minute drive from Ocala, and it's not far from 75 so we didn't have to drive through any crazy traffic. admission was $10 per person. can't wait to go back in the spring and see what it looks like when everything is blooming. this time of year we didn't see many butterflies and we didn't see any hummingbird but it was a nice outdoor adventure."
"Beautiful and peaceful place! If you're looking to explore the entire place I recommend you get there 2+ hours before closing time as there's a lot of ground to cover. Buy some fish food (bring some coins with you) to get the Koi fishes closer to you. Lily pads are stunning! Big fan of the giant outdoor chess board. So much fun to play in this gorgeous environment! Recommend."
"This is a nice botanical gardens property not far from the heart of Gainesville! It’s great both as a wedding / event venue and to just go walk. The wedding I worked personally had the ceremony under the bamboo garden and the reception in the main building; it was a beautiful service. I went again for the plant sale festival and orchid display for free entry and had a great time! Parking during the event was difficult because of the huge turnout, but the plant sale was really neat with lots of smaller businesses and vendors. There is about 2 total miles of sidewalk walking area with all sorts of gardens, such as herbs, flowers, and butterflies. It could be a little better maintained and marked, but other than that, it was pretty."
