    This garden is STUNNING! Full of amazing plants, wildlife, great walking paths and trails, and so much to look at and enjoy! If you’re new to the area or even a resident that hasn’t been - I strongly recommend checking it out! The price to get in was like $25 which was totally reasonable. We spent about 2 hours walking around and exploring. Try to get there earlier when they open up because it does get pretty crowded mid day. They do have a little cafe with a decently large menu so you can do an early lunch or midday snack. The gift shop is full of cute gifts and unique items to take home with you! Check out this local gem!!

    "From the moment I stepped into the Naples Botanical Garden, I was transported into a world of lush beauty and serene natural splendor. This 170-acre paradise is a symphony of vibrant colors, exotic fragrances, and the melodious sounds of nature. Each garden, meticulously themed and flawlessly maintained, offers a unique journey through different botanical landscapes. The Brazilian Garden, with its bold tropical plants and the stunning water feature, was a highlight. It felt like a vibrant celebration of life and color. Equally impressive was the Asian Garden, where tranquility reigns, and every turn reveals a new, meticulously designed vista, complete with a peaceful Asian-inspired structure. For families, the Children's Garden is a wonderland of interactive play and learning, where the little ones can connect with nature in the most delightful ways. The Butterfly House is another must-visit, offering an up-close experience with these ethereal creatures in a rainbow of colors. What truly sets Naples Botanical Garden apart is its commitment to sustainability and education. Their conservation efforts are evident throughout the park, making each visit not just a visual treat but also an enlightening experience. Whether you're a gardening enthusiast, a photographer looking for the perfect shot, or simply in need of a peaceful retreat, Naples Botanical Garden promises an unforgettable visit. The blend of art, nature, and conservation makes this not just a garden, but a living, breathing masterpiece. A must-visit for anyone in Naples seeking beauty and inspiration."

    A sprawling garden complex with many different zones, the Naples botanical garden will charm you with its color and variety. Fragrant blooms abound and nature is appropriately preserved. Educational opportunities are available along all of the trails in both English and Spanish, and if you are looking for exercise, you have plenty of room to roam. During the daylight hours, birding is an excellent activity to engage in. While the gardens have you used their tree mounted cameras in order to see wildlife after closing, I am not certain that you will get the chance to see the Florida panthers or foxes that they spoke of, but you may be lucky enough to catch an otter in the waters. On our visit, we saw osprey, kingfishers, herons, egrets, a variety of finches, a cormorant, and more. We saw at least three varieties of butterfly. They had live music while we were there. Guests had brought their own lawn chairs and were seated comfortably upon a well tended lawn. They have a very nice gift shop that is heavy with plants that you can bring home. Take your time roaming the grounds as there may be temporary installations along with the Brazilian, Caribbean, Asian, orchid, and native Florida areas. If you are in Naples or near Naples, then it is worth a visit.

    We visited this in October on a Saturday in 2023. We were very impressed at the size and amount of fauna on site. The staff was very friendly. We caught a tour that was very informative and the girl was very clear with her speech. They do warn you to bring bug repellent and suntan lotion. We used a free pass but I think it's probably worth the cost of admission.

    This place was incredible! I can't say enough about the beauty. It was so much bigger than we expected. Very family friendly! The workers go above and beyond to educate the visitors and take care of the grounds. There are paid tours as well as self guided QR code tours. Free wheel chairs, a gift shop, a Cafe, very clean restrooms, and did I mention just gorgeous. It's very cool, definitely check it out if you have time!

    Nice place to spend a couple hours wandering around seeing all the different plants. The plants are grouped by the area of the world in which they grow. Many of the larger specimens have plaques that show the common name and the scientific name. There are many QR codes that you can scan for more information. They also offer 3, 45 minute tours daily that provide more in depth information about the plants. If in the area again in the summer I would attend again.

    Love the orchids garden, there r so many varieties and all beautiful. Relaxed by the pond and watched the waterfall. Took a walk on a highland trail, and enjoyed the fresh air. Love this place. Oh, and we were able to buy the tickets at the gate

    Wow! So gorgeous! Definitely worth the admission price, I spent about 2 hours here and would have stayed a bit longer if I'd had the time. Bring a hat and a water bottle. There are water fountains for refilling, and some shaded seating dispersed on the main garden areas. Easy parking.

    Came here to see the Johnsonville Night Lights in The Garden event. What a wonderful nighttime experience full of beauty, charm, and romance. It was stunning! The event also featured live entertainment by 3 musicians located in different areas of the garden. There were also some food and sweets options.

    Beautiful and stunning for any nature enthusiasts. It was really really a class apart garden , the sheer number of flora this location has is amazing. I was short on time as I arrived near to 12:30 and the garden closes at 2 PM. I wish I had arrive early at garden to spend time. Make sure you have at least 3 hrs to visit every sub gardens they have in here. They have a lot of seating area to sit around amazingly beautiful flowers and plants. Parking is available in abundance

    I really liked this place. It is handicap accessible. Beautiful gardens! It is worth visiting! We were late and had only 30 minutes left before closing. We were allowed to just give a donation and browse the gardens. We really enjoyed it! I hope you will do the same. Enjoy!

    This is a peaceful and relaxing place for yourself or the family. One can learn about plants native to Florida. During the summer I recommend going there early when they open.

    Visited with my yorkie on Tuesday in April. Wasn’t crowded, many many beautiful displays. Between blooming roses and various other fragrant bushes and trees, the fragrance in the air was AMAZING! Beautiful waterfall, orchid displays, and there’s also a long trail of native Florida landscape. Absolutely loved it! They do not let you go in with a retractable leash, but we were traveling and didn’t have any other, but the front desk was able to accommodate, they have some they can lend you which was great!!

    This place is an entire vibe! The garden has so many beautiful plants trees, etc!!! Great for just a relaxed day they even have a full dining area! We enjoyed our day took a nice walk.. ate some great food shopped the gift store and now we're excited to return with the kiddos!!! P.s. also such a great photo-op spot so many photo opportunities!

  • 5/5 Savannah B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience with friendly staff. The actual gardens are fairly small, but there is a decent sized trail. I’d recommend going in Fall-Spring so you can enjoy the trail more and it’s not so hot. Didn’t try the cafe but it looked nice and had a good menu variety including vegetarian options. Gift shop was a nice place to cool off. It was a nice touch that admission was free for Father’s Day/Juneteenth although I went expecting to pay full price.

    We had a wonderful time at the garden. It's a very nice large garden with many things to see. Orchid garden, Brazilian Garden, Asian Garden, Mexican sculptures, and so much more! Great free tour of the garden, highly recommend. I think this was one of the best things we did in Naples.

    Came too late for a guided tour (last tour was at 1:30 on the day we visited). No worries, we walked around ourselves. Saw the most beautiful lily pads…lots of gorgeous nature arranged beautifully. Kids had fun too. Really enjoyed ourselves for a few hours.

    Such a relaxing time! Had a wonderful time at their Hispanic business after hours event last week. The garden is always so beautiful and filled with many gems along its paths. The no-see-ums were not kind to our group but we applied bug repellent and it was better. Would highly recommend for any one traveling to the area. If you’re a local I would recommend you come to their special events, they always have fresh food and yummy drinks.

    Amazing place to visit! The garden is gorgeous. Most of the trees and plants are well marked. There were beautiful ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and other water features. In addition, we have plenty of pretty places to sit and take in the scenery and rest. I noticed they also had motorized carts available for those who couldn't walk. The bathrooms were clean and well air-conditioned. The gift shop had a very lovely selection and you can buy orchids there. They also sell beverages available for purchase, even wine and other spirits. I do recommend bug spray. We forgot ours and were nibbled on quite a bit. This is an excellent place for the family and romantic dates.

    By far the best Botanical garden we have been to, rivaling even Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. Outstanding organization of thematic gardens which makes it so fun to explore. This is a true delight to visit.

  • 5/5 Linwood S. 11 months ago on Google
    Awesome place to visit. Even though it was 90°, there was a nice breeze through out the gardens. Several shady areas to sit and rest and take in the beauty. The cost to enter is $25.00, and I would say well worth it. You can also get a nice lunch there. We did and the food was pretty good, maybe a bit pricy, but super convenient with an option to sit inside with AC, or eat outside with beautiful views. Highly recommended!!!

    Relax and enjoy a wonderful day full of nature, pure air and beautiful plants and flowers. Amazing place with thousands of plants species. Divided in several gardens, classified by geographic regions. A gift and plants store, that helps sustain the garden, have a good variety of products and beautiful orchids at reasonable prices. I didn't expect the food to be so good. Fish 🌮 are really delicious and the sandwiches are very good as well.

  • 5/5 Pete R. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful gardens, grounds, native and non-native plants. The walking paths are paved and well thought out to allow visitors to get up close to some truly beautiful and amazing flowers, trees, plants, water features, sculptures and displays. There are guided tours offered throughout the day that are included with your admission fee. They use a personal headset sound system so you can easily hear the tour guide, even if you are away from the group getting that picture or another look at a tree or flower that captured your attention. There is a cafe and gift shop with a wide variety so you can leave with a perfect memento of your visit or a gift for that someone who was watching your place during your vacation.

    A beautiful garden. Great place to walk. Amazing amount of work has been done to make this a world class operation. Also have a very nice cafe. Plants available to purchase.

    Lovely garden that is a “must visit” on many Naples trip itineraries. It was very hot so it’s best to go earlier in the day. They did have a tropical fruit sampling event which was very informative and fun!
