Amazing staff. Our daughter and son had an amazing time. John, Lane and Ryan were fabulously helpful. Theres nothing more precious than having your toddlers play gently with butterflies. Wonderful family memory making experience. Today was our third year anniversary of bringing our son to the location for the first time.

Nice place thou in need of some work as its a bit sparse in some areas currently but it does not take away from the beauty and splendor enjoyed.Benches scattered thru the area gives you the ability to sit and enjoy the lovely plants and open scenery.The covered tree grove was a joy to walk thru and the creative grounds delighted to stroll.Will be back for sure.

An absolutely well maintained and very beautiful garden. It is definitely one you must explore while in this area. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful. The floral clock is wonderfully planted. The tiny bird houses were absolutely adorable. It was very pretty to see the butterflies feeding off the flowers. There are many exotic and tropical plants that would usually be hard to come by in this environment, so it was cool to see them. The admission fee to the conservatory area is reasonable. Admission is not required for the garden itself. Very peaceful and tranquil to experience. Excellent for those picturesque moments. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful place. I enjoyed everything about it. It is free. Parking is $3/hour - if you want to visit the butterfly conservatory ($17pp) and the botanical garden, then 2 hours should be enough. If you want to have a picnic after that, you should probably get a parking ticket for 3 hours. They have a beautiful open space for picnicking.

Not busy during Civic Holiday weekend. Parking $3/hr. Pay for 2 hrs and enjoy the horticulture. Just nice place to sit down and enjoy the company you’re with. Apart from the butterfly exhibit, there isn’t much to really see other than enjoying the scenery.

This place is great. Ive been there a couple of times and its always a wonderful experience with all of the butterflies in the conservatory. Definitely recommend them. The photo of the Bee is outside so dont worry about being inside with him lol

This place has amazing spots to take pictures. We have always wanted to go and finally got a chance this weekend. Parking payment $3/hour which is a great deal to park there, is a must they patrol the parking and give tickets to those who haven’t paid. The butterfly conservatory is open, admission separately. They also have a horse drawn carriage that takes you around the whole garden and costs $25/person.

The Botanical gardens were wonderful. But... What was once a magnificent Rose Garden featuring many old roses not available any more has been allowed to deteriorate into a sad mess. Empty beds in some cases and others the bushes arent growing because theyre almost buried. Looks like theyve just kept putting mulch on every year and theyre being smothered. It was so sad and was the specific reasons we went there. The climate here should produce fabulous plants with little care. I expect more from the school of horticulture.What we did like was the variety of trees and I learned of a new one cashed Silk tree. Such an interesting species.

A beautiful place to visit if u love nature...a well manicured garden on the niagara parkway...almost opposite to niagara Glen nature reserve and very near to the Niagara falls...For a relaxed time in nature...do visit...if have some extra time on hand...may also visit the butterfly conservatory in the same premises.The park is good for family visit with small kids and elderly people as well. The walking paths in the garden helps to easily explore the place.

So gorgeous! Ive never fallen in love with a space as quickly as I have here. Beautiful gardens, ponds, different events going on, and walking trails. Place has huge number of butterflys that land on you. Opportunities galore for pictures enthusiasts.

$7 to get in and $5 for parking! Not a bad deal to get to see some a very nice set up. It’s not the biggest place but what was there was very well taken care of. They have little village of miniature houses that’s a very unique idea! Very enjoyable experience just don’t expect it to take up a day. It takes like an hour to go through.

Beautiful flowers and plants. It will take anyone probably less than an hour to watch whats on display, but the scenery will likely make it worth your time. It was nice to slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature. Recommended for those visiting Niagara.

Disapointed that the restaurant was not open. We were hoping to grab lunch and take photos in the garden. Thought this would be a great way to celebrate a birthday during this pandemic. The parking machines also only took credit cards. The gardens however were beautiful as usual.

Many interesting plants and trees. But the map I got needs work. Map was too small and couldn’t make out what was where - no contrast on map images. I missed some plant displays because I couldn’t find them.

A must see place. If you visit Butterflies, you may spend an extra hour to see the wonderful park. After 5pm it’s very quiet.The last WeGo south bus is at 5:30pm(08/26/2020)

Review №33

Beautiful place to walk around in and visit. Went mid May and a lot of the flowers havent fully bloomed yet, but the ones that did were beautiful. $18 including parking was worth it as you get to explore the whole garden. If you love flowers, this is definitely worth seeing.

Review №35

Beautiful botanical gardens with rock lined paths that create a great walk. Lots of variety species wise and plenty of colors to catch your attention. There is a fair amount of shade for hot days and benches along the paths as well. Great for families or flower fans or for those looking for something not so overwhelmed with tourists

Review №36

A good place to see butterflies but unfortunately non of them were around. All of them stays high on the roof and few of them were at a level you can closely monitor. May be we went late in the evening that could be the reason.

This a beautiful locations for gardens. It sets next to the river and next to the golf course. The floral clock is just past it. Definitely worth your time. Remember that flowers bloom in there related seasons. Plan to go for your favorite blooms.

This was very cool to see so many butterflies that I would have never seen in my entire life. Not action packed but certainly a hands on experience walking through a beautiful rain forest filled with butterflies everywhere. Certainly a must see.

Nice out there especially its quiet and not much traffic in the area. Sometimes this pandemic you need to refresh from isolation and in dark conditions. Go out and enjoy the beauty of gardens and natural environment in the area. Its refreshing and fun.

More descriptions would be good, not all items are easy to recognize. Rose garden is not in good shape, but there were not even open until recently. No crowds at all in mid-week, and no Americans yet.

The location is beautiful, with Golf Course on one end, valley on the other and just bordering the US. The Garden offers a wide variety of flora! Didnt get a chance to see the butterfly observatory. Yet, this is a must visit for nature lovers.

The butterfly conservatory is more fun than it may seem at first. Kids of all ages will enjoy the variety butterflies and parents will enjoy letting the kids roam in this large enclosure.

We started the tour by visiting the Butterfly Conservatory and it was such a neat tour. Its packed in the summer I would believe but since its off season, the number of visitor is nice so not too crowded. The pricing is on their website but I think I payed for cad18 per person if Im not mistaken. The butterfly conservatory started with the brief movie about how they perform their job in daily basis and it was so educational. The movie is shot perfectly. I had fun watching it, in fact, it was too short for me I want morrreee. The conservatory was nice and warm and theres so many butterflies literally from various species. I wish they could give us more info about the name of those insdie the conservatory may be with banner or something attached on the wall probably. The whole attraction is huge so you can walk around to the other side to check other one. I went to check the Rose garden and the botanical garden. Its such a relaxing beautiful location. Worth your money and totally recommended.

My college girlfriends and I make a trip every year, and this year was Toronto with a stop in Niagara. Im SO glad we stopped by these gardens. We have visited many gardens over the last few years and we agreed that these were our favorite (even over the famous Biltmore gardens). Just a charming organization to everything with beautiful hedges and tree groves and such color! Highly recommend it!

What a beautiful place at the falls - about 10 Kms away.Lush green premises and the range of flowers was awesome.Very well maintained and serviced.Entry is free and a nominal parking charge of 5 bucks.Theres so much to see and discover - you will need the full day to see everything.Runs parallel to the American border and the roads approaching are really scenic.

This is by far my most favourite place to visit when I go to Niagara Falls. So beautiful, so peaceful, everything about this place makes me feel good. I wish I had the time to come here more often. They have done an amazing job on the ground. Beautiful plants, flowers and landscape. Perfect place to picnic ok a warm summer day. I can’t wait to go back. Plus the horse carriage ride is amazing. I have done it twice now and it’s so enjoyable and relaxing.

Beautiful gardens. The best part is after you pay $5 for parking its free to roam around the gardens. If youre a nature lover its a great way to spend an afternoon on the cheap in Niagara. Just bring your own drinks cause the cafe charges $4 for drinks. Very overpriced.

Review №83

This is an interesting spot to visit. They harvest their own butterflies as well as ship in butterflies from around the world so there are always 40 + species on display. We had access as part of the Niagara Falls Wonder pass which provides free transportation on the WeGo hop on/hop off bus service. You can get through the exhibit in an hour or less. In the summer you can also see the botanical gardens.

Wow .. what a beautiful place ! We stopped there on the way to Niagara On The Lake. If you want to take a relaxing stroll through meticulously kept floral gardens & a spectacular arboretum, then this is the place. There is a butterfly conservatory that is on premise but decided not to visit because of time constraints. This is a place where you could spend just a few hours or spend all day. Up to you. We spent about three hours walking around the gardens and felt very satisfied with our experience.

If youre a plant geek or just love nature walks, this is a beautiful place to visit. Theres so much to see and explore from all the different and unique garden spaces to the amazing butterfly conservatory. If walking isnt your thing you can relax on a horse drawn carriage for a tour around the gardens. Theres also a little cafe with food and beverage options.

The botanical gardens are really lovely and the nature is so relaxing. It is easy to walk around here, and when we went it was the summer time so all of the plants were in bloom. They have lots of trees, flowers, and bushes to walk past. The garden is well-kept. There is parking available nearby, and there are a few food places. It was very pretty and if you are in the area it is worth it to come here. The Butterfly Conservatory is nearby so if you come here I recommend seeing both attractions at the same time.
