The gardens was beautiful. All the displays and lights were spaced out so we could fully appreciate the views. It was fun looking for the animals hiding.. And the hot chocolate with marshmallows was perfect. I would recommend going.

Loved the lights this year - we had a great time walking the trail and finding all the figures. Really liked the will-call for tickets and everyone was very relaxed and friendly. I think this will be easily cemented as an annual family tradition!Note to anyone else going this year: the food truck advertised is a snack shack (replacement for the hot chocolate station from past years), and is not an food truck. We thought the advertisement was for real food, so we didnt eat a meal beforehand (6:00p tickets). If you have small children or dietary needs, take a snack/plan accordingly. Learn from our mistake!

Be careful of ants. It was $5 per adult which was fine. But we went at the beginning of October but there wasnt much to see. Problem I had was within 5 minutes both my kids got ate up from their knees to their feet with ants. Not just a couple but at least 30 or more ants each kid and we stuck to the paved path. The rest of the time there both my kids were scared they would be bit by ants again. We took the long path around but dont waist your time. Stick to the short path. Theres nothing in the back except some man made bridges to walk on. The roses they had were beautiful, the Chinese garden was really cool to see, even had beautiful fish to see and some rocks that made great pictures for kids, the statues were fun to look at, water fountains needed cleaned some but the kids loved them, and the scarecrows were unique and fun. The park for the kids was surprisingly clean and very sturdy so thats great. For $5 it was worth the price. Only complaint I really had was the ants and something smelled like a dead animal when you get to the 1st part in. Maybe will be better in spring and if they get rid of the ants by/on the paved path.

Very beautiful place very relaxing outdoor nature trail I also got married here... Me and my family now visit once a week.. a variety of different gardening from a beautiful rose garden and oriental garden they also have a tropical greenhouse!!! And the area for kids to play

My kids and I love this place. Its 5$ for adults and children get in free. They have a walk in green house, plenty of plant life, and a small park for kids. They also have a gift shop. While we visited this time, they had homemade jellies and jams for 4$. They usually have something set up for the holidays too. For October, they have all the scarecrows out and decorated for certain themes.Being bug spray though! And wear comfortable shoes!

I had a great time here today, the grounds are very clean and very well kept up. Its a pretty small botanical garden but what they do have is really well done. I wish the roses were a little bit more trimmed up because they kind of look like they were just growing wild. However they have a greenhouse that has a lot of pitcher plants and some other really neat little plants growing on dead logs. This is definitely worth a visit and worth a $5 admission, parking is also shaded as well which is a relief.

Great place to take a nice sunny still and get it of the house. Very kid friendly. Even has a small outdoor playground that has remained open, even and the pandemic. Perfect for stir crazy littles. Also has a nice lake on the grounds, so bring some food for turtles and fish if you go!

Nice feel for a small botanical garden. Well kept and clean. A good selection of garden types and a strong volunteer force to keep it growing.

This garden is amazing. There is so much to look at and a wonderful variety of plants. Dogs are welcome which is a plus. There is a play area for small children. It dont take long to see it but you could spend a day here.

Beautiful space and grounds are clean, but it could be so much better. Some areas are in need of upkeep and pruning, while other areas just need to be updated. With proper oversight and care it could be an amazing destination. We still enjoy the space and encourage others to as well. Great destination for unplugging yourself and your family while soaking in natures beauty.

We enjoyed this stop. It’s pretty and relaxing

This is a beautiful place to go for a few hours. You can go for a nice long walk on the paved trail around the grounds. It has markers to tell you what kind of plants you are looking at. My favorite areas are the Asian garden and the Roses. Good place for the kids to explore

Its very pretty and the people who work there are very nice. I especially like the green house!

One of our favorite places to go as a family. One of the few places the kiddos enjoy as much as we do! Check out the pond , with the beautiful koi fish !

It is so beautiful here!! Spent about 2 hours with my sister in law and we both loved it!! Really enjoyed the walk in the woods and the Rose garden and the Asian garden with a little red bridge. Will go back again soon!

Nice place to get outdoors and enjoy the beauty around us. Great place for a picnic.

Great for a family day out. Theres tonnes to explore and so much to look at! You feel like youre finding little treasures along the way. The $5 entrance fee is very reasonable considering how long youll spend at the gardens and how well maintained everything is. Plenty of places to take pictures and an overall great place just to unwind. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

This is a beautiful well organized garden. Lots to see with many labels to know what your seeing. Great photo spots! The red bridge in the Asian area is the most photographed I believe. Good shade in most areas. Enjoy!

This place has the potential to be so much more. The Mullen Asian Gardens were definitely worth it, and the Rose Garden was beautiful. But I found the rest of the gardens kind of lacking in maintenance.

My family really enjoyed the smell of the Beautiful flowers. And the employees where very nice

I absolutely love it here. Always magical.

A great place to get the fresh air and your family will enjoy it also

It was beautiful. The gardens are expansive with lots of trails and side themed gardens to explore.

This was our first family trip to Dothan and we had never been to a botanical garden. But i just say we all loved it! We seen all kinds of Florida wildlife and insects. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely beautiful garden! Free admission but you can make a donation, also a nice kids area and wedding.

Beautiful place to take your family to! Scarecrows are my favorite there every year!

The Botanical Garden was Beautiful. They have a very nice set up and walking through the beautiful garden, Its just so relaxing . A great place for a photo shoot or just to take a nice atroll.

This was a beautiful place. So quiet and so peaceful. Ill visit again when I can.

Lots of variety in all aspects. Very relaxing place to visit.

Absolutely beautiful place. I love walking around the garden

BeAutiful place. Check out my FaceBook page for pics. Sterling Brown. A rose, is a rose, is a rose.

A beautiful and serene place to spend some quality time with your family or alone!

Great place to walk around and beautiful all the way through.

Really pretty and one of our go-to pitstops btwn Atl & FL panhandle

Absolutely a must see if youre in Dothan or anywhere in South Alabama.

My daughter and I went it was very beautiful and peaceful. There are alot of turtles that came right up to us and beautiful koi fish and of course the flowers and gardens I will definitely be going back. Just make sure you are prepared for the heat it was hot and now I know to wear clothing for almost like if you would be going to the beach and lots of water of course. I have alot more pictures but they have my daughter in them and I need to protect her identity.

Underwhelming to say the least. With the exception of the roses this garden has not been maintained.

The gardens are absolutely beautiful and peaceful! The eggs decorated by the area schools were very interesting and aesthetically pleasing. The staff was beyond friendly. I highly recommend!

So beautiful , really enjoyed visiting the gardens. the rose garden was fantastic

These gardens are impressive. I am visiting Dothan from Birmingham. I like how it is dog friendly.

Beautiful place.

Very nice botanical gardens. Kids under 15 get in free and its only $5 per adult. Even in winter, some flowers are blooming and its a wonderland as my 5 year old said. My kids loved it too.

What a great place. Went for the first time and i was in awe of the beauty. Loved the rose garden. I have never seen a purple rose before. And the gate of locks... amazing!!!!

Such a amazing and beautiful place to walk, I love it so much. For sure well came back again

Even in this time of year, the gardens have a lot to offer visitors. In addition to flowers and plants that do prosper at this time of year, there are fountains, pools with fish, and of course, beginning this Friday evening , the park will be decorated with Christmas decorations, displays, and lots of Christmas cheer! Highly recommend a trip to the gardens, now and in the spring.

Pretty, serene grounds. Nice walking trails.

Scarecrows in the garden is always a treat.

Very impressed with the master- gardeners skills throughout the park.

Having to pay to come here. 5 dollars is way to much money for this place

Great place for a picnic!

Very peaceful. I love to go here when I am passing through town.

Wasnt what I thought it was .thought it would have more flowers and more stuff to see

It was a very beautiful place I had a lot of fun

This place is so peaceful

ITS A NICE PLACE TO WALK AND TAKE YOUR CHILDREN ESPECIALLY DURING HOLIDAYS... WE WENT ON A FIELD TRIP TODAY AND SEEN A LOT OF SCARECROWS DECORATED AS DIFFERENT MOVIES SHOWS AND CHARACTERS....IT WAS FUN.

See we are in Florida but we go once year to visit the garden. Its really a great thing that Dothan has done.go see it.

Nice quiet well maintained garden. Would love to revisit in the spring.

Beautiful place tons of interesting plants and flowers to check out they also do Christmas lights during December!

It was very beautiful. I did think there would be more flowers. Im going to go next month and see if there is more then.

I love it here! Lovely Koi pond and many peaceful gardens.

Great place to take the family, the Christmas light trail was amazing. Very well put together, and quite enjoyable.

Great place really beautiful nice place to go if you want to relax.

Beautiful! Enjoyed it a lot!

Loved the Christmas lights. Nice place to walk through and enjoy the season.

Gardens A Glow! Open until 8pm Fridays before Christmas. Santa and free hot chocolate and bring your well behaved dogs...$5.

Shady areas are remarkably cooler!

Beautiful place.. Also great place to catch Pokemon.

It was a nice walk and peaceful, very big and had a handful of beautiful displays, so many bugs bring your off spray!

Botanical Gardens are always a nice choice for a relaxing afternoon. Dothans Botanical Gardens did not disappoint. Invited some out of Town Friends to join our Easter afternoon stroll of the Gardens.One of our favorites was the wonderfully manicured Rose garden; such a lovely variety. Next was the Herb garden which was tastefully kept. But the decorated large wooden Easter Eggs were especially fun to spot as they were scattered throughout the entire Gardens. Lovely Pergolas, Gazebos, Seating Areas, Picnic Benches,Water Fountains, Statues, Walking Trails and so much more...With no entrance fee, just a donation box, we found this Gem to be very well kept and definitely worth the visit!

Cute botanical gardens with a wide variety of plant species and a lovely rose garden.

Went to see the Christmas lights here. They did a great job!

I didnt know what to expect going on but I enjoyed myself far more than I initially thought I would! Beautiful gardens and thin plants

Beautiful place but horrible staff. Called the law on us for not knowing that they had changed from being donations only to paying $5 each. They couldnt bother to tell us that there was an admission fee and policy had changed. Would have gladly paid. Instead called an officer out there and wanted his time and ours. Officer appolagized and said everything was fine and that it was a misunderstanding. The staff never once appolagized to the officer nor us.

This is a beautiful place. You can go for a walk or admire the flowers while sitting on a nice bench. Go at Christmas time for lights or fall to see some creative scarecrows. They even have Santa at Christmas who gives out hot cocoa and candy canes.

Always such a peaceful and beautiful place to spend a few hours. I love the Asian Garden & Rose Garden.

Called the police on us when we didn’t know we had to pay and when. Lied and said we where causing a disturbance just to get them there. Left a review on Facebook and they replied with a snarky comment. I love the gardens but will never go back because of the way we were treated

Lovely place full of beauty only wish they didnt charge now $5.00 to get in per head

Great place to take a walk and enjoy the beauty.

Absolutely beautiful place to walk around and enjoy a nice day!!!

Beautifully maintained and so colorful. Very peaceful and serene.

Ill give it three stars only for the fact that I know this place was beautiful the last several times I came here. I have no problem donating to the garden, but when it has now been mandatory, kind of makes me upset. I was not even aware that a charge was in place. My husband and I were startled by a man who said we needed to come through the front glass doors and pay. That was the first time I have even heard of the charge, so I asked when it started (which began in July), his snarky remark was, Well, the grass doesnt cut itself. Instead of following the man inside, we walked back to the car and didnt look back. He was rude, so we said deuces.

Me and my fiance and my parents-in-law went here on a Sunday to walk around. Beautiful flowers and trees. Very nice place to spend the day. I took lots of pictures. Me and my fiance came back later to put a lock on the lock gate to lock our love forever. Old Chinese proverb. Pretty cool. I will be going back soon

WONDERFUL PLACE TO RELAX and ENJOY WITH LOVED ONES..

A wide variety of plants and beautifully laid out. Enjoy nature and have something nice to look at as you walk the trails.

Friendly, great selection, first time I went there they gave me a bottle of water and offered some coffee, gave my grandson a popsicle. I didnt even perches anything. It was like paying me to look.

It was a fun time , we go for the scarecrows every year .

My son loves coming here. But the last few visits, he wanted to see the plant house, but it wasn’t opened.

A nice place to spend an afternoon.

Rose garden smelled awesome. Best visit during early season

Great walk through with my boyfriend. Really enjoyed it - this was February. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in the Spring ️

The most beautiful and pleasant park in Dothan. Well worth the $35 individual membership!

Lots of trees. Five stars.
