Anthony M.February 26, 2011The one-year family membership is a steal for the price! Family of 6 here saved on first visit. More times per year is found money.
Make reservations for a sunset dinner at the 1906 restaurant. Arrive two hours before dinner and tour the conversatory as you work up a good appetite.
Rick GarofoloJune 17, 2012Be sure to check out the Bruce Munro exhibit going on now. It was really amazing!
Kelly H.March 20, 2012If you have kids, bring some slices of bread for the fish in the ponds. You won't regret it.
Laila MiddletonApril 10, 2012I went for the Orchid season, it was cold and not much life outside but inside was spectacular ! I would go again in an instant.- The Christmas display is amazing every year! Buy timed tickets on the website to avoid ticket lines during the holidays.
Regina BabcockJuly 14, 2012The light show is lovely but don't go when it's humid because the walk becomes a dupont death march.
