Just Amazing...
Posted by Kristy L. on 4/3/2006
The Atlanta Botanical Garden is one of the greatest botanical gardens I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. I've been on multiple occassions and it is always a delight. The display of pitcher plants is absolutely fabulous, as is the orchid house. The hothouse part of the garden is nice, but the extensive outdoor grounds are just as spectacular. Feel like you're walking though a Jane Austen novel as you stroll through the more formal gardens, or roam through the Asian-inspired gardens. There are also less formal green areas. It's a great place to visit and I hgihly recommend it.
The Children's Garden

The Children's Garden at the Atlanta Botanical Garden combines plant education and interactive play to create Atlanta's favorite family get away. Fun surprises like the limestone Green Man Fountain, a mythical half-man, half-plant legend sculpted with a face made of leaves.In the Live garden, kids can go "inside" a plant to learn how gases are exchanged, then either walk out or slide down a sliding board. Way COOL!
A fun and beautiful attraction for a day out
Posted by Shellie S. on 11/15/2005
A few of my friends and I took our kids (ages 3 and under) to the Botanical Gardens for a day out. I had never been before and was in awe of the beautiful flowers and water fountains. My daughter really liked the more exotic flowers and wanted her picture made with all of them.The children's garden is really enjoyable for the kids (and parents). There is a zero depth water feature which is great if you go on a warm day. There is also a dinosaur sand pit and small playground like area with a slide.The reasons I didn't give the botanical gardens five stars include the parking situation (there is none, you have to park street side across from the park) and the cafe (it cost $17 for a chicken nugget meal, a sandwich and two drinks).So when you visit the botanical gardens don't forget your camera, be prepared to walk a lot, and bring a sack lunch.
Go see the trains

The Atlanta Botanical Gardens are an unknown gem in the city of Atlanta. The gardens are incredibly beautiful and well-kept. There is an exhibit right now with trains that is wonderful for the kids. They absolutely love to spend time there. It is a place that you can feel comfortable letting the kids run around and enjoy the sights. The kids could have spent alot more time there if we had not needed to head out after 3 hours. Go spend some time in the Garden!
Beautiful and Peaceful

The flowers are just one reason to go this tranquil place. The gift shop sells beautiful flowers and jewelry, and the new music series features acclaimed artists.One major plus for kids: the children's garden is both fun and informative. There are fountains that are designed for children to play in, so make sure junior is wearing swim trunks, and bring a towel.The greenhouse is just wonderful, and every child I've ever brought there is just entranced by the poison dart frogs.Parking is good, and volunteers are plentiful to answer questions.
