Carefree Desert Gardens

"Not exactly what I thought it was going to be. More of a nicely landscaped area at the center of a shopping center. However though small it was very pretty. Good place to kill 30 min."

"Beautiful and interesting garden at the center of Carefree. There are water features, a children's playground and interesting plants with resting benches."

"Lovely place for a stroll. Free botanical gardens with a large sundial. It is better in early to late morning when not a lot of people are there. They also have a great kids' park."

"Small but nice. Especially nice is the su dial with the time instruction. Day before Eastern Sunday, Care Free has beautiful weather and the desert is blooming. Nearby Spanish village is cute. Walked by the older building with antique shops which is a sharp contrast to the newer buildings and the architecture style of the botanical garden. Hope those old buildings will not be torn down so that the area showcases the evolution of Care Free."

"Beautiful cactus gardens with many different varieties! The upkeep is impeccable and perfectly manicured. There is a designated dog friendly area and the also have a kids playground. Playground consists of slides, monkey bars, a small rock wall and jungle gym. This area is great to visit and there is plenty of awesome photo ops."
