    Kind of a small park, but has a nice circle path easy to follow. There wasn't many flowers blooming being November, but still alot of pretty cool ones to see. Kids area was truly unique and fun. The produce garden area was also fun to stroll thru. Don't forget to get some feed for the chickens! Didn't see but 2 butterflies in the butterfly section, but did see several caterpillars & chrysalis. We did see a snake, so just be aware of your surroundings. He wasn't a venomous one so it was interesting to just watch him doing his thing. Some really pretty water features throughout. Really neat place to spend a couple of hours with the family!

    Next to Lake Fayetteville with easy access to the trails. If you’re not a member the entry price can feel a bit high. The garden isn’t that big but has several nice areas to sit, picking or admire the plants. They also organize several events with free access to everyone. If you’re in the area check it out.

    Small botanical garden that didn't overwhelm. Multiple vignettes to wander through. Doable in 1.5 hours. Great for children, elders, families... anyone. My only regret was that the giftshop was closed. Most areas wheelchair accessible.

    Be aware that although it’s $10 per person, they’ll charge an additional $7 just for use of a credit card and are unable to reverse this even when you find your cash 5 seconds later. This makes it more pricey than it should be in my opinion considering it’s a very small place. I’ve paid similar fees at botanical gardens 2-3x this size. They have some upkeep they need to do - fallen down trees and pathways that are hard to navigate due to overgrowth, but overall a beautiful place with fairly good variety and paths off the main trail to see some different types of plants and landscaping.

    Beautiful gardens and many trails with art and mosaic work interspersed throughout the park. We came a little early in the year and the flowers weren't blooming as much, but it was still fun to walk through and enjoy.

    Beautiful place! My friends and I attended the International Day Festival and it was so nice to see all the different dances from each country, see artwork, food and learn a bit about each one.

    I have attended a beautiful wedding here, and got to go back with my son's school for a field trip. The volunteers were very knowledgeable about the flowers, plants, trees, and various butterflies we spotted along the way. I have heard they have a great summer program for children with storytime.

    Fun and absolutely STUNNING beauty for all ages, The Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks is a great place to spend a relaxing day! From educational workshops to festivals to community cocktail parties to simply strolling through the seemingly endless different types of gardens, there's truly something for everyone to enjoy. They even have chickens and one very handsome rooster! Be sure to ask for some feed when you're paying for your entry fee at the gate! This is a really space, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

    Beautiful garden, entry fee is 10 per adult, plan to spend at least 1.5 to 2 hrs. Be sure to bring your camera :)

    The gardens were pleasant and peaceful. There were few blooms besides pansies, so not a lot of color yet (we were a bit early) but the experience was still enjoyable.

    Small and pretty garden but not worth $10. Could cover the garden in less than 30mins and there was not much flowers and very few butterflies. The butterfly house was also very small. Few picnic areas are available.

    I stopped by on a whim one evening. Unfortunately, they were closed, and the weather was just starting to get bad. I was so excited to see some of their flowers starting to come up! I will absolutely be back to take the official tour. I'm sure it will be even more incredible.

    Nice little botanical garden in Fayetteville. You can walk through the entire garden in under 30 minutes, but each theme was well designed. We enjoyed our visit and would come again. Great place to bring children for a walk.

    The garden is delicately planned. It is divided into different sections to express different themes, like the Japanese Garden. The flowers and trees are beautiful. You may want to see it yourself. But the place may be rented out for events, it's better to check their availability before visiting.

    Nicely designed. It has 11 smaller satellite gardens surrounding the large center grounds. Very beautiful on a sunny day. Would be nice if there was a small concession stand. Worth the price of entry and a must see designation. I walked through in about an hour. Enthusiast's could like spend a couple of hours or more.

    Several adorable photo ops. Beautiful flowers & interesting fact plaques. You can bring a little picnic, or sit and admire the garden from swings. Lots of areas to play or climb. And a small butterfly encounter.

    Beautiful place. We expected it to be a big bigger for the price we paid, and there was a wedding taking place during our visit which took some of the "intimacy" of the place. Great gardens and flowers variety.

    My partner and I are currently planning our 2024 wedding and have booked this as our venue. My sister in law has used this as a venue previously and had nothing but praises to say - and we had a great time the few visits we had on the grounds. We've been working with a fellow named Chad who's been great showing us around, explaining things and helping us through the process and with any questions that may arise. We're really confident so far in this venue's ability to preform and exceed expectations on our special day! If you have a chance to stop by, definitely check out some of the unique features on ground like the butterfly gardens. Although it may seem empty when you enter, if you're still and gentle - you might be surprised at what you find inside. It was a highlight to one of my visits! Thanks again, staff and Chad - and we can't wait to see you in October!

    Beautiful place! We were there just before Halloween and got to see the scarecrow competition. They were so fun to see. There were some beautiful/unique flowers and greenery as well.

    Gorgeous space, accommodating staff. Had my wedding there and it provided the best backdrops for photos!

  • 4/5 Jess E. 7 months ago on Google
    It's really nice but small for $10 a person. Also probably slightly more to do if you have kids.
