University of California Botanical Garden 200 Centennial Drive, Berkeley, CA 94720

"Gorgeous place and very refreshing. It's practically a your around the world. It's also not crowded and I really love how wild the place can be at times, being located in a mountain and having different relations. There are also spawning orange-bellied minizillas in a very clear pond and Jumanji sized aloes. Love it."

"i’m a student at UC Berkeley so i get free entry into the botanical gardens. they are very beautiful and the gift shop is nice. the bathroom was also very clean which is always a plus. i will definitely come back here since it is free to me."

"Beautiful spot for spotting a wide array of plants from around the globe. Bring your walking shoes for sure - the terrain is hilly."

"Botanical garden in Berkeley is amazing. What are my favorite ones so far lots of walking and feels like you’re on a little hike or you have nice views of the bridge. The staff was very friendly very warm. Then make sure to check out the gift shop because it’s a fun time say hi to the attendee for me please."

"I did not appreciate this world class botanical garden enough when I was a student around. Now that I'm a homeowner getting into gardening, my god isn't this a treasure trove of knowledge at display. The garden feels way bigger than it actually is thanks to the meticulously designed paths and vantage points. The diversity and vibrance of nature and wild life in there is insane. They even have a super utilitarian kitchen herb garden, truly the highlight of the show. It could be an arduous walk due to the slopes, in that case where else could be a better place to sit and rest than the Oak Grove on top of the California area. Take it all in, my friends. Ticket is $18 for adults which I think is fair. It also includes a separate access to the redwoods. Tons of weddings and events taking place over there."
