I think this might be the new yearly tradition. The hot chocolate, lights, music, and fair price is just what we needed here at the end of 2020! Cheers to a new year and new wonderful traditions!

Beautiful gardens. We loved the fall theme and the garden with vegetables they actually grow there. These gardens were a great addition to our visit to Amarillo.

We were passing through Amarillo and had some time so we decided to visit. What a great surprise! The gardens were beautiful, the area was clean and well attended, and the bird sanctuary was a real treat.

Beautiful botanical gardens on four acres. We visited in October so there were lots of pumpkins decorating everything. Theres an atrium with huge palms and a waterfall and brightly colored pheasants. Theres also a Japanese garden with a Koi pond.

This is a beautiful place to go and take pictures at! So dont forget to dress up, take the kids, check out the lights, go in the store area and get your you a hot cocoa, or even better get your 3D glasses! Those were the coolest. If you dont have kids make it romantic and take you Partner.

The garden is well kept and extremely peaceful. So beautiful. The greenhouse with the beautiful scenery, waterfall, birds, and little ducks was our favorite spot. I overheard a little kid crying to his mother because he couldnt take a pumpkin home, one of the kind staff members saw the upset child and found a little pumkin for the child to take home. How awesome of them to go above expectations to make a guest happy. Love it.

Really a great little find! Entry is only $5 with the option to purchase fish food for fifty cents. Beautiful plants, flowers and decor really set the stage for a wonderful walk around the property.

Bring money for fish food if you have little ones, you will thank me later . I lived here for over 30 years and never visited. It was worth the wait. The colors and smells will enchant you, the peace and cool spots will invite you to stay for hours. I had to drag my granddaughter away after 2 hours and she talked about it for hours. (Shes a energetic 3 year old). Cant wait for our next visit, I wil be more prepared! Loved it!!!

This is a lovely, lovely garden. Very well kept, with plenty of photo opts everywhere. The lady at the ticket The weather was very nice, so my daughter and I decided to have a mother/daughter day. There are plenty of shady, comfy benches to take advantage of. It would be an awesome place to take a good book, but dont forget your camera or you will be sorry. I couldnt stop taking pictures. Roses, shrubs, succulents, cactus and many more that I am unfamiliar with. Plan to take in some leisure time there. Its good for the soul.

Wasnt their fault, they had an ice storm last week. A lot of dead plants. But we still enjoyed ourselves.

I did some research before traveling to the Amarillo Botanical Garden, so I knew to expect a rather small location. I wasnt expecting the entry price, (14.00 for the two of us) which didnt match the fee listed on the signing. Once getting in, I was underwhelmed by the grounds. The one saving grace was the large greenhouse, which was very nicely laid out. Unfortunately, that one section alone was not, in my opinion, worth the price I paid. I doubt I will be back.

The gardens were fantastic! The greenhouse was an aviary of a small sort with a few golden pheasants and some very small ducks. After that the Japanese gardens and koi are well kept. They certainly have some awesome volunteers over there . It actually looks like it ovelooks a golf course. Look for the pumpkin patch in October Im sure it will be great.

This is a a great $5 spent. They have several different themed gardens. I do believe the Japanese garden was my favorite. Then the conservatory I loved the tropical flowers.I could just sit in there for hours and just be still.Everyone I talked to was so friendly and very knowledgeable. What a beautiful treat!!

They place was a great stop. I wish they had more labels on the plants or someone like a guide that could answer question. Another thing I recommend is bring something to drink. They only have a vending machine on site but it was out of stock.

Good place to stop on a cold windy day. The outside looked like it was still coming out of winter. I really enjoyed the waterfall and the birds in the greenhouse. It was a little overgrown inside, but really added to the jungle them. Looking forward to coming back and seeing what the place looks like in September.

This is a rare gem in Amarillo. We are a family of five from Dumas and have a family membership. If you go more than a couple times, it more than pays for itself. We stop by a few times a month to let the kids run around. The butterfly garden is great at the end of summer, and the jungle greenhouse is a nice place for the kids to explore. In the summertime, they have live music concerts in the garden and allow you to bring your own wine and beer - making it a great, affordable family outing.

Review №32

Its beautifully landscaped with different garden areas. Its small enough to explore easily and large enough to give you places to walk, or sit in solitude. The conservatory is a tropical oasis in winter with (its currently snowing outside). The staff and volunteers are always friendly and knowledgeable. I love the botanical gardens . Every season brings new discoveries. Thank you for being a part of our community ️

Its winter, dont forget to dress warm. We live in Amarillo so wind is always a guarantee, bring scarves and ear muffs. Wow, Christmas lights were amazing. I was blessed to take a young couple on their 36th anniversary. This was mine and my 5 year olds first time here. He was ecstatic the whole walk through. If I would have dressed warmer we would have gone a second time around, it was that beautiful.

For $5 it is a nice area to walk around, however, within 10 minutes youve seen everything the garden has to offer - a small fish pond, flowers and foliage, and a few ducklings.If youre passing by on a road trip, its a good place to get out and stretch your legs, but I wouldnt necessarily make it a dedicated stop.

Someone put some real thought into the layout of these gardens. They were beautiful! Not just rows of flowers, but lots of separate designs! Every gardens was a tribute to someone which made them that much prettier. The staff was knowledgeable and kind. There were fresh out of the egg ducklings that were just the cutest little puffballs! Eep! So cute.

Review №78

Do you like plants? Then you have to check this place out. You can bring your own googly eyes if plants cause you anxiety or you just dont trust anything you cant look in the eye. Little suggestion... dont attach the googly eyes with super glue. You may be asked to leave and strongly recommend to never return. But that totally wasnt me... okay, maybe it was. But can you blame me? Plant anxiety is a serious condition.

We tried to utilize the Botanical Gardens as a wedding venue for our wedding. My wife had a medical emergency and I was deployed at the same time. When we tried to cancel our venue and request our money back we were not only denied that option but while I was overseas they harassed her by calling her over and over again refusing to speak to anyone else. I would never suggest anyone to use this facility for they do not have a sense of courtesy or professionalism. If I could rate 0 stars I would.

Very beautiful,especially the Japanese garden. Perfect for wedding and receptions and the fees are reasonable. Plenty of room whether you want your event outside or inside or both. They have a wedding chapel set up, and indoor event center and an outdoor amphitheater.

These gardens are small but clean and well maintained. There werent a lot of people when we went and it was very quiet and peaceful. One of the attractions is a fish pond where you can feed the fish and a very interesting statue of a frog playing the violin. All in all, a lovely place to spend an hour or two in Amarillo, especially when the weather is nice. The Christmas lights are a sight to behold!

The Amarillo Botanical Gardens has a number of lovely areas with different trees and flowers. The new a Japanese garden area is beautiful. In late fall and winter the conservatory offers an indoor experience that is not to be missed. Looking for a beautiful wedding locale? This is one of the best spots in the Panhandle.
