    Large, expansive gardens! Lots of gorgeous daffodils, tulips, bridges and ponds throughout. Be prepared to do lots of walking up hills to see the flowers and we also walked a good distance from the parking lot. We visited on a very busy Saturday during peak daffodil season, but the gardens are large enough that we never felt cramped or crowded. The entrance price was a bit steep, but we enjoyed ourselves! If we lived closer, we would've definitely bought an annual pass to save money. Overall, recommended!

    Such a wonderful place, beautiful all year around with a very laid back, seemingly very happy and friendly staff. Facilities are always clean and very pretty. Definitely their Japanese garden is magical. If you live close by, definitely worth getting the membership. We see snakes around the ponds every time. The frog escaped by the way. Careful with kids around the pond banks. The manor is a hike up. Not a bad idea to skip if you have elderly in the group.

    This place is a hidden gem where locals & newcomers can indulge in sights & sounds of the natural world. I was delighted to see that there was a replica of Monet’s water lilies on the premises. The Japanese garden was beautiful, and amazing. The wildflower area was massive! You could walk in it for over an hour. So many different colors of the fall season were present. Lots of different varieties of plants and trees too. There are statues all through out which adds something special to each area. You are not just going to see the latest flowers in bloom, you are escaping from the world and entering peace & tranquility. It is one giant walking trail, which leads up to a beautiful Manor House filled with more interesting landscaping & surprises. Their gift shop had lots of adorable and useful items.

    Beautiful gardens. A lovely way to spend the day. I do wish their pricing wasn’t so high so that more people could enjoy it. We went ahead and bought memberships but hope they might offer a family membership in the future or consider joining AHS reciprocal program.

    The different gardens were very beautiful. My favorite was the Japanese gardens. I loved all the water features. You can see that this place was well thought out. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It is so peaceful and relaxing here. It's definitely a great place to spend a couple of hours. My husband and I loved it, and we will absolutely be back. I can't wait to see the gardens in all four seasons.

    My wife dragged me here on the last day of our vacation. As much as I was not looking forward to it I LOVED IT! It was so serene and beautiful! I especially enjoyed the Japanese garden. We ate lunch and that was really nice too. The staff was amazing and very helpful!

    Gibbs Gardens is an absolutely beautiful place to visit. With 16 different gardens on over 300 acres, it is truly a world class garden. The manor house with seven terraces of gardens is nothing short of stunning and a must see. There is plenty to enjoy including numerous ponds, bridges, nature trails and waterfalls. Be ready for a good hike and allow several hours when visiting. The garden has a gift shop with restroom facilities and cafe. My wife and I had a delightful visit. Gibbs Gardens was one of the highlights of our trip while touring Georgia. Hats off to Jim Gibbs and his family for sharing their wonderful estate, home and gardens for us all to enjoy.

    It's gorgeous; 10/10 would recommend it! The 376 acres of the garden take roughly 4hrs to go through and are best during the middle of spring. I do have to say the Japanese garden was my favorite; it was so gorgeous. Everyone is so friendly and willing to lead you in the right direction. I went with my grandmother; she’s had a knee replacement and back surgery; we could ask the staff about the flattest way to the manor; I greatly appreciate that. Children’s tickets are $10; adult tickets are $25; season passes for children are $30, while adult season passes are $60. Worth the price and time.

    Loved visiting the gardens today. It is apparent that everyone on staff cares so much about maintaining a wonderful environment for guests! This is a wonderful place to lose a few hours - we logged 5 miles and had a blast every step of the way.

    My friend and I decided to spend a day at Gibbs Garden, and it did not disappoint! Our favorite part were the wildflowers and loving on the two cats that live on the grounds. The on site cafe was reasonably priced, and as a person that eats a vegan diet, I was afraid they wouldn’t have any options for myself .. but I was able to get the grain bowl without the cheese. It was delicious. They also have vegan bars for a quicker snack option as well. It took us about four hours to really enjoy the place as well as sitting down and eating. There’s also plenty of parking.

    Amazing amazing amazing 🤩 so serene so beautiful so picturesque! My friend found this place and when we came here we were blown away by the scenery. Solid 2.5 hr walk enjoying the views, the beautifully curated gardens, the manor view, all of it! $25 admission is 100% worth it. Will be here again in the fall! Highly recommended!

    This was my first time visiting Gibbs Gardens and it was an experience I will never forget. My group and I unwittingly chose the perfect weekend to go as the wildflower garden was in full bloom. When we turned the corner and walked into the field, we were engulfed in a sea of color and beauty that I have never before experienced. We easily spent an hour exploring that one portion of the garden. Whether you are an outdoorsy person or not, this place is absolutely worth visiting. Be sure to check out their Facebook page so that you can stay informed about what's in bloom as well as any other attractions.
