Airlie Gardens

"Beautiful walking trails. My husband and I visited here in January, so I am sure it is even more stunning in the spring with beautiful flowers. Love that it wasn't crowded and we were free to explore the grounds. Looking forward to going back."

"Absolutely beautiful. Lots of wildlife to watch as well as unique sculptures throughout the garden. I wish I knew about this place before I got married it would be an amazing venue! The staff and volunteers are all lovely as well."

"Very nice Gardens! Lot of old Oak Trees! Especially the 400 year old oak tree is magnanimous! There are not many butterflies in the butterfly house, may be seasonal! There is a historic Chapel inside the gardens! Lake with lot of tortoises! Overall a good visit!"

"What an absolutely beautiful and enchanting place! Visiting from Virginia on business and discovered Airlie Gardens when searching what to do. Every trail leads you to another amazing hidden garden, a magical glass art structure, butterfly house and garden, the river, ponds with turtles, the lovely old 1800's church and nature in all its glory! So peaceful and serene! I will definitely come again on my next trip to Wilmington! Love, love, love these gardens!"

"This is one of my favorite places. Love visiting here. I like to go on a weekday and arrive around noon with lunch in my pack and find a nice spot by the water for lunch. Then a walk through the gardens, spending extra time around the ponds for bird photography. Every inch of this garden is beautiful."
