Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

"Absolutely stunning! This place is incredible. Staff is super friendly and helpful, grounds are jaw dropping even in late February. Butterflies everywhere. There’s plenty to see and do including lots of energy spending activities for kids. Signage everywhere with lots of education about what you’re seeing. I really appreciated how walking friendly the paths were with lots of signage so you don’t get lost. I spend several hours here and will be back for more. Truly a jewel in Austin’s crown."

"I always leave this place feeling refreshed and at peace. The flowers weren't out today, but come Spring/Summer the flowers will be at full bloom. Great place to take a date or have some quiet time alone with nature :)"

"There is nothing to do here for adults for such an expensive place to visit. All flowers are dead in December & there is no shows or light shows during the daytime. Perhaps this is good for kids to spend time outside. Our visit has been a complete disappointment and the staff are not allowed to process a refund. Shame on Wildflower center, there are many nicer places to visit at no cost or little cost all over North America."

"For clarity's sake of this review I must say that I was attending a special event there in the evening in the auditorium. It was a KUT symposium on landscaping and how we can use that to prevent climate change and adverse effects to our city with the incorporation of more green spaces, green roofs and pocket prairies along with the use of alternatives to lawns. The facility itself is quite impressive and very well kept. It has a wonderful spacious layout and a lot of beautiful yet organic feeling design work. The auditorium itself is quite impressive with its seating and ability to host a large group for the audio-visual movie presentations or for hosting a symposium type situation . The staff that was there was quite friendly and very professional and everything went according to plan and schedule. The gardens in the evening with the Twilight into darkness time was very beautiful to see also. The lighting is pretty and tasteful, yet not overly bright or ostentatious. For this special event hosting, I have to highly recommend the Lady Bird Johnson wildflower center and award them a five-star review."

"This was difficult. I went in Oct of 23’. The area was recovering from a drought. There were small delights here and there. Swings on trees. The trails were well maintained but the center didn’t look any better than a well maintained city park. -there were a series of plants/trees in cages? Like a petting zoo for plants. Not much fauna outside of the strategically planted trees and plants. -they did good by putting the kids areas area on the opposite side of the “trail” but you could still hear the kids screaming from across the park -some plant and flower life but there were large parts of nothing but “hill country” where there wasn’t a lot to look at. -I went in Oct so admittedly there was as much in bloom as in April-September. -think of your $15 as In investment into wildlife conservation. That’s what’s makes the mediocrity of the trails a bit more bearable"
