    Loved walking first through to see the butterflies and then the beautiful gardens! Every time I walk the gardens I notice something new! Definitely great to visit when the fountains are on and a great place for kids to visit. Love the gardens!! Make sure to be gentle with the butterflies, too.

    Beautiful garden! Well worth a quick stop after visiting the zoo. It's quiet, peaceful, and the crowds didn't seem to follow us over. Great spot for a quiet break.

    Been to the zoo so many times, and never saw the gardens until recently. Omg, so beautiful. Will definitely go back. Very tranquil. The Lego exhibit along the walk is so cool.

    This is a really nice indoor and outdoor garden. We went after we went to the zoo and it was a nice way to wind down. The butterfly garden is really cool. The outdoor area is really awesome. It feels like an old fashioned British outdoor garden. You get in free with zoo tickets I think.

    Beautiful Gardens attached right in the zoo! We really enjoyed ourselves. Zoo admission covered the entrance so it didn't cost anything! The butterfly cocoons were really cool to see!

    Pretty small, but admission is included with Zoo admision so it's more than worth it to walk around for 30-45 minutes to take in the sights. The butterfly exhibit was pretty cool to see as well! Most of the outdoor flowers were either not blooming yet or seemingly dead, but the architecture is pretty cool and the indoor sections are awesome!

    A wonderful visit! The flowers are starting to bloom beautifully, and the butterflies are a sight to see! I can't wait until they have the water features up and running.

    I love this place, especially in the winter. It's so nice to just walk around warm plants in a quiet, peaceful place. The bonsai trees are a perfect addition at this time, also

    Absolutely beautiful! Little piece of heaven right here in the city. My baby adored the butterflies. Even though I took dozens of pictures they don't do justice! this is one of those things you have to go see for yourself to really enjoy the beauty of it.

    What a neat spot for the family with a little magic fun for everyone. There's a spread out playground that fearless kids will absolutely love as they slide, dive, climb, and sing as they swing amidst the meticulous, sprawling well-landscaped park featuring a small zoo and a small children's train. Great place to create precious memories and definitely one to revisit again and again.

    Great compliment to the Indianapolis zoo. Beautiful scenery, plants and landscaping. Must see the butterfly exhibit.

    Beautiful plants. Butterflies were a bit elusive but we did manage to find a few.
