This is an excellent place to come visit, they have a very nice set of gardens to enjoy, along with nice walking trails along the way.

They have a children's garden and in the summer, kids can go through their sprinkling area. The gardens are so nice. I go in the summer and also near Christmas for their Festival of Lights. I think I have been there at least 10 times and will go again.

The walkways through this garden are paved and easy to navigate with children, the elderly or disabled - one of the best I've seen. The rose garden and the area around the tea house were exceptional.

Unfortunately the tea house was not open...

I've been to numerous botanical gardens around the world, and was pleasantly surprised by the Ginter gardens. There's a lot to see & do, but the size isn't so expansive as to be overwhelming for children. The site is very stroller-friendly, with a good mix of trail types and interesting structures throughout. The layout of the gardens is very nice...

LGBG is a real gem. Always something beautiful to see - from the gardens to the exhibits. Easy access. Enjoyable dining options. AND - you can take your dog! (On special fido days of course.)

Nice warm welcome for our first visit in Spring. The azaleas were blooming and the ducklings were roaming. This place is gorgeous and so well laid out.

It took us about 90 minutes to walk the entire grounds. We will definitely go back when the Butterfly Garden is open. The conservatory houses several interesting and beautiful flowers/plants. There are 2-3 children friendly areas. Besides the countless flowers/plants, we saw turtles, geese w/ goslings, robins, cardinals, blue jay and a hawk. The water features are also very nice...
