North Carolina Botanical Garden

"Beautiful and contemplative place. Loved the board walk, plant signage, diversity of plants and garden types and the preserved cabin. I didn't see a lot of interactive or kid friendly educational stuff, it appears to be geared towards adults. I did see they had classrooms though so perhaps they have kid classes"

"Wonderful gardens to meander and enjoy. A variety of North Carolina ecosystems are represented. Gorgeous display of native carnivorous plant’s indigenous to North Carolina. Highly recommended."

"The grounds are nice for a walk or just to have a look, won’t take long. Very low variety of plants, gift shoppe sells work from local artists."

"Free admission (please consider donating $5/pp) to beautifully kept, natural gardens in a non fancy setting. Perfect for families with littles as they can wander and roam. Flowers were lovely and plentiful in May 2023. We did the scavenger hunt and walked around for about 1.5 hrs happily. Enjoy!"

"It's free to come to the botanical gardens here and they have a lot. The sculptures were stunning and I was very impressed by the nature walks! Their trails are well maintained and labeled properly. The plants have educational plaques so you learn a lot here too! There is a library, gift shop, plant shop, and classrooms here as well with very friendly staff. I highly recommend for anyone in the area!"
