Great park, clean and very spacious old landmark in Jamaica it is one of the two zoos in Jamaica and a great location for picknics,bunch, birthday party and much more. It hold a good history of Jamaica culture.

Best in Jamaica in terms of public parks. It’s very accessible and there is no cost attached for personal trips - groups and otherwise. It also has a wide selection of outdoor Venues (it and Hope Zoo are two different entities). If you plan to host a event here, you’ll need fire permits and event insurance.

Deplorable roads and the garden is not care for, after paying for parking their is no real parking lot we had to park under a tree with lots of leaf and bushes, also they never told us that if we're going to the zoo we need a zoo parking sticker so we had to walk there. The place is not manage good.

Lovely open park with gazebos, fountains, mazes, archways and pathways to enjoy the serene and relaxing environment to unwind in the heart of the hustle and bustle. Great place to picnic and have family outings in wide open spaces.

Good space for groups, families, couples or even solo visits. Quiet, peaceful garden. Seems to be open mid week for you to drive in and park. Otherwise you park at the designated area and walk in. There's also a zoo and a Chinese garden (not open) It's 4 stars because although it's good, a lot more can still be done

This place is really beautiful. Nice place to go on dates, picnic, just a walk and more. If you love nature or want to experience how lovely nature is; this is the place to be

I'm always at peace when I step onto the grounds of the Hope Botanical Gardens. A great place for family and friends alike to hangout on any given day.

Spacious and clean environment. Suitable if you need a large space to practice dances or rehearsal. Excellent for photography, weddings, and large events. Additionally, it's also perfect for a picnic date or just a long walk with a friend.

An exquisite haven for tranquility and nature enthusiasts. The park is free, adorned with breathtaking landscapes, offering a serene escape perfect for relaxation, picnics, and events. Gazebos and fountains add to the charm, creating an idyllic atmosphere. There is also an on-site nursery with a wide range of affordable plants. There is security on the compound, a restroom if you need to go to the loo ample parking spaces. An exclusive feature is the enchanting Chinese garden, a paid attraction where a nominal fee of $500 for adults and $200 for children grants access to a unique cultural experience. Hope Garden Botanical is a harmonious blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and affordability, making it a must-visit destination in Jamaica.

Attended Zoo Lights. Great lights but dangerously poor lighting in some critical areas. Hundreds of kids running and screaming, in and out of the darkness. Signage was inadequate and obviously unilluminated so Best of luck getting to and from. eat before you go. Visit the stalls some have very affordable trinkets.

Nice place to have church

There aren’t a lot of different animals. Lots of different kinds of birds. The animals looked not cared for and the crocodile looked very dry. The staff were not very friendly and seemed to hate their jobs. I would not recommend this zoo.

Big and beautiful! The place was missing more animals and directional arrows, but do definitely recommend visiting. A few "popular" animals are there, but would have loved to see a tiger and a few other. However place is well kept, and ambiance is amazing. As nature lover, this is a must visit.

This is a beautiful spot to enjoy nature, have a picnic, write a book or just to bring the kids and let them play.

Hope Botanical Gardens is a breathe of fresh Air. The view is very Majestic and therapeutic. Very beautiful location to enjoy with Loved ones, families and friends, can also be a treat area for studying, weddings, picnics etc. Highly recommended

I purchased a few flowers at the nursery. The staff were helpful and they offer a wide variety of plants.

Great garden, very scenic.

Fantastic natural experience. Be sure to see the Chinese garden. There's a small fee for that part ($500 for adults, 200 for kids) when I visited but its definitely worth it

The scenery was astonishing and the variety of plants really made the whole garden seem exotic. I really enjoyed my time there.

NATURE IS JUST BEAUTIFUL!, Yes I had to shout. Hope Gardens is a site that I have been visiting as a Child and it hasn't lost its beauty. I was invited to a wedding and Man O Man they couldn't have chosen a better place to host this event. Talk about everything at one location its was like walking into a candy store on sale day. From the ceremony to the Cocktails to the reception,and it well like we were on a private plantation... and if you know Hope Gardens you know that other patrons were there and was no disturbance the whole atmosphere was exquisite.. Take me back plzzzzz. I will let the pictures fill in the blanks 🥰🥰

Beautiful park. Great place to spend your afternoon or take an early morning stroll..

Awesome atmosphere to relax, do photography, have a picnic or just to hang out with family and friends. Could do with a few more seating options... but good just the same... would be nice to see different local entities adopt sections of the park to keep it 💯...

I am proud of the fact that Hope Gardens is somewhere that is free and open to citizens. There is a gate fee if you are parking, though if you are going to a restaurant they allow you to drive in and park in those related spaces without paying. It is great for birthday parties, bigger parties, and functions. It is generally quite safe though it is still necessary to be alert when you are there. It is absolutely beautiful and a definite win for nature lovers and those who heal through nature.

Ambiance is great, comfortable family environment, with lots space which mitigates crowding.

Nice place for family or friends pinic, a quiet beautiful sceneru but no parking inside the garden

The hope botanical gardens is ideal for family picnics, weddings, photo shoots, bird watch groups study and good friends just want to hang out.

A places of beauty and one of the many places in Jamaican you can go with friends and be one with nature. A family friendly place. Suitable for keeping picnics and memorable events. There is also a zoo when you can talk the kids to see amazing and beautiful animals of different shapes and sizes and a Chinese Botanical Garden. It is advisable that you carry food. However, a restaurant is there is you feel for a hot cooked meal, a snack shop and a Reggae Jammin vendor to serve you. Come by, bring friends, bring the family.

We loved this place! Natural gardens are always a must for us wherever we go, and Hope Royal didn't disappoint. The park has a wide variety of flowers and other plants, all set up in a thoughtful way. Lots of wide open areas so people could do whatever they wanted without bumping into a large amount of people.

It was beautiful and peaceful and the photos came out great

Beautiful green space. Lots of wedding parties

This is a small fraction of the nursery. They have everything!! Amazing place and they take cards. I'd give them 10 stars, and excellent customer service.

Nice relaxing place. Great for family or group outings

A wonderful place to spend time with your love ones and family and see the zoo animals.

Nice environment and nice plant nursery.

I was very impressed by the new structures that we observed.

It's calm and have a very relaxing area for every one

The environment was peaceful and serene but it helps to bring only nature lovers.. There is an entrance fee...we paid $200 but it varies depending on type of vehicles..its for parking... The rest room close early before 5 pm.... The compound close at 6 pm but the traffic is bad, so its best to leave early.

Nice place to hang out and relax and do what ever you wish great place to interact with nature.

It's always relaxing whenever I visit the gardens.

Great picnic locagion

Looks great

very good and pretty,.👍🏻

Hope need to be revised, growing up that was the place to go ..not any more .it need fixing up baddd

I had fun today

If you love to be surrounded by nature then this is the place for you.

Was fun and beautiful

It was wonderful

Visited to conduct a photoshoot for my mother's birthday. I was not disappointed. The gardens are well kept and BEAUTIFUL! If you are a nature lover, visit the gardens 😊

The place is absolutely beautiful. Great for family, cute romantic picnick dates or just simply relaxing with a great book. The trees, the mountains the nature of it all is real beautiful and has a peaceful vibe. Recommend if you're a nature lover.

Beautiful place. Peaceful

Could be better kept but still nice

Has the potential to be more beautiful

It's a very good place to go and have a picnic, take photos or just to chill and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding

Nice place to study

It was okay

Sale on

The place needs some golf cart the place is huge

Excellent place to relax and picnic with family, friends or lovers

Calm and quiet..good to relax and study

Clean, spacious, good for picnics and to relax and chill with your loved ones

Peaceful

Beautiful place ideal for nature lovers

Great for the family and get together but the only problem is finding the restroom so this is a two star ⭐⭐ for me

Best garden fo photoshoots but sometimes the lawn needs better care

Love it here

I'm still here, I haven't left yet :) it's peaceful, the air is fresh and the green is green at for the tired eyes. Listen to waters and birds so soothing for the ears.

Awesome relaxing experience. Needs more directional signs to assist the nature lover who just wants to walk and learn as they go without having to search for staff especially on a Sunday.

Very tranquil environment. Great for the family.

Good place for a quiet, relaxing day with the family.

Beautiful, well-landscaped grounds, plenty of seating areas for individuals and large groups with tons of benches and gazebos. Tons of sanitising stations and wash areas along with restrooms throughout the property. The background of the animals along with the "Did you know?" at their holding area was very helpful and informative. Scenic and picturesque.

Very relaxing, the air is fresh, the animals are interesting.

The place is well kept and employees are helpful.

An okay experience and the kids make their own fun.

IT was ok, but guides would have been nicer

Hope Gardens and Zoo provides a wonderful experiential family environment. The green spaces for families to enjoy and the animals in the Zoo to excite. Plan a family picnic and come out to the gardens. Only JM$200 to park your car either in the garden or Zoo parking.

Very Relaxing. More trips coming up 🙂

Wonderful space for young children

Really nice outing to spend with children. Just a few more cages fill with animals. Good to go!

They need more animals....they could introduce some local animals to boost inventory . For example there are so many people who have never seen a cow or a mule in real life-just on TV or pictures. I felt the loneliness that the poor Zebra is feeling . The vegetation was green and lush though.

Awesome zoo, kids love it

Great option for relaxation and play. One of the few spaces in the city where kids can unwind while parents also benefit from the freedom

It's a fun-filled visit esp for the kids. Plenty animals to see and a kidzone filled with rides for the kids to play

Awesome time for kids...now Im totally beat!!!😑

Simple, neat, nice...small is beautiful!

Well kept and properly maintained. Pleasant experience at the zoo.

Need more animals. Some areas had signs without the animals being there.

It was a great experience

I did not have a guide but the experience is good depending on who you go with

Family fun and festive

The place is clean and beautiful with several animals to view. The landscaping work makes the location provide a beautiful ambiance with seems to be consistently maintained. There is a Zeba, many different types of birds, snakes, monkeys, rabbits, crocodiles, donkeys, ostriches, ponies and an iguana, deer, kangaroos...those are the animals I can remember off the top of my head. A grounds man told me that they would soon have camels. Be prepared to meet the peacocks and pea hens casually walking around the grounds. Birds are the most common animals at the zoo from flamingos to ducks, from hawks to owls and many wonderful vibrantly coloured macaws. If you are lucky you may hear a birdie say hello or 'Waah gwaan'. There are many gazebos available to sit and grab a bite or relax for awhile with family and plenty of space for children to run about.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place.

Wasn't much going on for the price they charge

Beautiful scenery and friendly staff. Animals are well taken care of and the atmosphere is just perfect. I enjoyed it man.

It was ok. There weren't a lot of animals like in the past. The children price is too much. The management should consider family price package

Its was my 4 year old daughter's birthday and she really enjoyed it

Superb

Limited animals and lots of empty cages. Too many birds. Need more of other animals.

I will surely come again my time was well spent there

It's absolutely fab

A lovely space just to chill with family and friends. The garden is beautiful.

The exhibitions look great!

Very beautiful and educational

Nice face-lift the place has gotten!

An Pasis in the midst of the city. Great for a lunch time detox

A really pleasant experience. Would visit again next month.

Beautiful. Not huge but very affordable entry price and gorgeous views of the hills and mountains

Nice place to relax, chill and hold a vibes..

Makes a lovely background for pictures

Beautiful place to host events, have a picnic or even chill as a family

Beautiful, well maintained garden. Nearby mountains seems to fold into this space You must visit here.

Very beautiful and relaxing place..... Love it

Fw is.

Beautiful, relaxing place.

Beautiful park for nature lovers and photography.

Infinity Tranquillity. A place to take family, your significant other, group Trip or studied zone even picnic. Peaceful beautiful and amazing

It's a great hangout spot for friends and families. The grass is lush and healthy and comfy to sit on with the exception of the numerous amounts of ant hills filled with biting ants. But obviously that can't be helped but otherwise the vibe is great there are always events being kept so there is always music to enjoy. The gazebos are clean and spacious and you can rent them for your purpose.

It's a gardens it's pretty and it's quiet ntn exciting unless you have a big group of people well other than the excitement of weddings or something in that caliber

Great place to host picnics. Had my wedding photos taken here. It's 2,500 for parking inside the park and that allows for 5 cars. 200 dollars per car in the regular parking area. It's a very vast and beautiful park. You can call them to arrange for certain areas to be used for parties, weddings, showers etc.

It is well maintained. Some areas need to be taken care of though.

It's nice.. they have gazebos property is huge. Good for taking photos, chilling with friend and family or studying. Parking is available at a cost of $200.

Very exquisite place for picnic, weddings and outdoor activities

I always love coming here, ita beautiful, well kept and peaceful. A great place to relax with your family, take pictures and buy plants.

I love this place it makes you feel at one with nature. Carry you sheet or blanket and maybe a pillow and find a nice cool shade and relax. Or you can take a look at the zoo or the fishes. It's just great

Very relaxing! Great place to get a breath of fresh air and clear your mind.

Very well maintained lawn, clean rest rooms with adequate supply of paper towels and toilet paper and hand soap

Lovely space. Nice place to do a little bird watching 😊

Great place for a picnic, romantic date outside in nature, fun day with friends or family, nice place to chill alone, public restrooms available, several gazebos ranging in size are also available, manicured lawns with a plant nursery. The garden is beautiful. It also has the chinese gardens you can visit. Which is also another beauty in itself. There is also a zoo that you can visit.

Excellent 0lace for nature lovers smacked in the 9utskirta if the urban landscape if Kingston and St. Andrew. The gardens I'd well kept and the general atmosphere is coming to ones spirit. Saturdays are the busiest if all days as many persons can be seen taking photos (comes at a cost if $2500 upon entry) while others are picknicking or studying in groups. I usually visit early Saturday mornings where I stop at the local coffee shop with my family and we have breakfast at one of the gazebos. After eating it 8a great to watch the children okay in the oush green grass. It is such a joy to see them in such a cool calm environment. I will recommend this place for those who want a quick get away to reconnect with nature.

Beautiful grounds that is well kept. The trees are old and labeled for inquiry. Most of the benches are clean and garbage not present. Security is not present until closer to opening time but visible are exercise folks enjoying their routines and outdoors.

Its a quiet place nice setting dont know much as i just went to participate in the best dressed father's day 5k event.

This was one of the most beautiful places I've visited. ❤A lot of beautiful trees as well as the atmosphere is fresh and nice. It is perfect for a family picnic, a gathering, wedding pictures and more.

Great for weddings, photo shoots, picnics or just chilling. The grounds are beautiful but some areas need more maintenance and up-keeping. It's also a popular venue for parties, concerts and festivals though the residents nearby hate that. They also have an organic farmers market on some Saturdays. Parking is good. The road is some areas need to be re-paved and they need more signage. Despite all of that, it's a very picturesque location.

JAMAICA NICE .. JUST COME TO JAMAICA AND FEEL ALRIGHT.....YEAH MON

Hope garden is generally an all time favorite time for my family and I. The only issue I have is the fact that they have limited bathrooms. I really think another bathroom or 2 should be built on the property.

The place was peaceful and calm wonderful site to keep events. ✨️
