Daytime Visit to Atlanta Botanical Garden

Gorgeous & Well-maintained gardens. So much to see so much to do! Perfect for a relaxing afternoon stroll. There are places to get a snack and you can even buy libations like wine beer and cocktails to take along with you on your stroll. Lots of whimsy and the floral art forms will take your breath away. We went during the day, but I hear going in the evening when the lights are up is really cool, especially during Christmas holiday. Be sure not to miss the Chef talk in the Outdoor Kitchen, you learn a lot about nutrition. She shows you how to cook food straight from the garden and then you get to taste it. You even get the recipe card. What a cool concept. We were fascinated by the snapping turtle in its native environment and the many frogs. This is truly a great place to bring the kids. Highly recommend.

🌺 ATL Botanical Garden – A Jedi Master's Retreat Among Flora and Fantasy 🌿 Tranquility found, in the heart of Atlanta it is. Wandered into the ATL Botanical Garden I did, and emerged hours later fully immersed in a world where the Force flows not from kyber crystals—but from orchids, fountains, and sculpted artistry beyond imagination. The vibrant displays of orchids will ignite your senses like twin suns at dawn, while artful topiaries and glowing glass installations will make even the most seasoned Jedi pause and admire. Nature and creativity here dance in harmony like a well-executed lightsaber form. 🌸 Whether you're here to meditate among the greenery, chase younglings through the whimsical Children’s Garden, or stroll along the canopy walk with the wisdom of Yoda whispering in your ear, there’s something for all beings of the galaxy. ⚠️ Important quest you must complete: Do not miss the Alice in Wonderland displays—an enchanting floral takeover that runs only until September 14th. From blooming chess pieces to larger-than-life topiary characters, it’s a wonderland even the White Rabbit wouldn’t dare to rush through. 🌳 The entire space is a botanical adventure—interactive, beautifully maintained, and bursting with seasonal magic. A must-visit for photographers, families, couples, or travelers simply seeking peace. 💬 Final Verdict: A garden, this is not. A living Force temple, it is. Go, you must—and let your senses bloom.

We loved the Atlanta Botanical Gardens! The theme is currently Alice in Wonderland and it was beautiful. We loved the indoor Orchid rooms as well. Absolutely stunning plants and flowers to explore. We also thought it was neat that in the children’s section there is a little splash pad area. It was so hot out we went in and wet our feet just to cool off! We went on a weekday and it wasn’t too crowded. It was definitely worth the money! They also offer military discounts.

I really enjoyed my time here. You can easily spend 1-3 hours here just looking around. This is nice for a cute date or a family outing. I particularly noticed the fact that there were no mosquitoes when we went, and I attract them heavily! It's nice going at different times of the year because of the variety of bloom seasons!

Loved this place! The Atlanta Botanical Garden is such a peaceful and beautiful spot to explore. As soon as you walk in, you can grab a cocktail (yes, they serve drinks at the entrance!), which makes strolling through the garden even better. The whole place is full of cool sections — the orchid house was super impressive, and the canopy walk gives you a great view above the trees. Everything is so well-designed and relaxing. We went during a seasonal exhibit, and the plant sculptures were amazing. It’s the perfect spot for a date, hanging out with friends, or even going solo if you just want to chill and enjoy nature. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Atlanta!
