"" a green oasis with year round activities". Yeah right. We went today and not a single plant was a live. It was all baren plots. The Christmas lights and decorations were still up, and half the park was closed due to construction. No signs to indicate this. Just giant trucks driving on the roads and digging up plots. We were not told everything was dead, and the people at the desk were happy to still charge us $75 for this experience. Don't get me wrong. They were very polite. But we completely wasted our time and money in wandering an acre or so of grass and trees. We expected greenhouses or something worth our time. Nope."

"I love this place and you will too! Membership is cheap and you get a lot of other perks with it too! The Purdy butterfly house is my favorite thing to do in the spring/summer, it has such a gorgeous little grotto area!! It's just long enough for a nice walk that isn't tiring. Highly recommend this place and the lovely staff!"

"Take a stroll in the natural beauty and bright lights of the Huntsville Botanical Gardens. Awesome in the spring and wonderful in the winter, the Gardens is a spectacle year round. My wife and I enjoy this sanctuary and highly recommend."

"Wonderful way to spend a few hours walking and enjoying the beautiful gardens. We visited during late morning. You can take a tour or walk at your own pace. The paths are mostly flat and well maintained. The fauna and exhibits are easily accessible. We saw parents with young and older children and also noticed older folk like ourselves. This is a great way to get outside and enjoy nature in a beautiful setting."

"Beautiful Saturday! I decided to stop in while passing through the area. What a lovely botanical garden! It's not the peak season but the fall decorations were plentiful and made it feel festive. There were scarecrows of varying kinds all over, as well as LOTS of pumpkins and gourds. Thoroughly enjoyable."
