A beautiful sunny day to walk through the gardens. Although, most flowers have gone, there were still some that’s flowered! The pavilion was very interesting to learn about exotic plants! Plenty of paths to walk through and very dog friendly. There’s also lots of benches to perch and rest!! Lots of squirrels roaming around hunting and burying food!!

Beautiful gardens with so many different areas to experience. Great for wheelchair users as there are plenty of paths and lots of benches dotted around the site. There is a mixture of bedding plants, wild flowers, trees and shrubs. The garden inside a garden was very interesting with a wide variety of vegetation from around the world. The squirrels we super friendly so remember to take some nuts. There are also some lovely water features which are very relaxing to sit by. There is some disabled parking at one of the entrances and toilets right next to them. If you can afford to make a donation on one of their machines I'm sure it would be appreciated to keep up this lovely protected area.

Sheffield's Botanical Gardens is a true urban gem. With its diverse plant collections, charming pathways, and serene ambiance, it's a delightful escape into nature. The well-maintained gardens are perfect for a leisurely stroll or a family picnic. The glasshouses are a highlight, showcasing rare and exotic plants. Whether you're a botany enthusiast or simply seeking a peaceful oasis in the city, this garden is a must-visit.

Botanical Gardens has always been a beautiful, serene and a wonderful place for a walk or to have a picnic since I can remember. Plenty to see and explore such as the bear pit. Vast variety of plants and trees on every corner and pathway. Friendly squirrels, so make sure you bring plenty of nuts.

Lovely peaceful place. Great for a walk or even to just sit and read a good book. Lots of interesting plants to look at. Great place 👍

Great place to unwind. I enjoyed the short walk and the cafe to the left of the main entrance is amazing

Beautiful gardens on the edge of Sheffield. It's got a stunning Glass Pavilion, a bear pit, statue of Pan, fountain, magnificent trees, gatehouse, cafe and toilets. Parking can be hard to find around the park, so I'd recommend parking in the nearby Berkley centre carpark.

Nice green space for a wander and some fresh air. Lots of nooks and winding pathways for the kids to explore and they love going to see the bear in his pit. The different cacti in the greenhouse were interesting too.

Lovely place for a short walk, with a bear pit from the 1800s 🐻 The squirrels are very friendly and will climb up your leg if you let them. The greenhouse area is lovely and well kept. A very enjoyable visit!

Lovely park. Great for a day out with your family. The greenhouse had a nice range of plants. It closed at like 3:30pm so it is best if you come earlier to have more time

Had a few hours to spare whilst in the area and this place was extremely beautiful and peaceful. The day we visited they had a plant sale which I didn’t expect but it was lovely. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking to spend some quite time reading a book, a peaceful walk or even a picnic with the kids. I can’t wait to come back to visit again!!

Utterly beautiful. The Victorian Pavilion has been lovingly restored. The gardens are well designed & gorgeous to walk through. It's perfect

Gorgeous, peaceful and plenty to see. Very friendly squirrels so take some nuts. The only disappointment was no toilets close to the entrance. I showed my ibs disabled card but they didn't careless .

Squirrels everywhere,lovely place ,great for an outdoor picnic to walk to see the glasshouse ,fountain visit the bear pit read its history. Quite a lot of dog walkers so very dog friendly. There are clean toilets at the Thompson road entrance for visitors .

I didn’t even feel like I was in Sheffield anymore, everything was so beautiful. The best part was being so blessed to have met the grey beautiful fluffy cat!

This is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen in my trip in the U.K. The fresh air with gentle breeze, the flowers, trees and the pigeons and hamsters that looking for food are so amazing.

Attended illuminate the gardens. Was a really good event for the kids. Fireworks were low noise and a suitable display for children and adults alike. Food vendors were in the plenty with options for all. From noodles to cake you weren't without. Kids activity tent was simple but fabulous. Beautiful light displays and other curious things to look at.

An elegant garden. Nicely maintained relaxing place to chill out. Can walk around with kids.

Lovely little park well kept with all the plants and trees labelled so if you are interested in plants good place to go. Parking isn't great around it so mainly street parking. Can park on road into the park if you have a disabled badge

Really lovely and well-kept gardens with such a variety of flowers. Great place to go for on a walk and take some photos. Benches around in case you need to take a break. It's a shame the greenhouse was closed due to Covid but luckily you could still see inside of it anyway!

Its really nice and quiet , yet near to busy roads. The summer.plants are fading and the autumn ones are not quite ready. The squirrels are the stars of the show just now. They are storing food for the winter months.

A great free autumn and winter day out for the family when we just fancy a walk and to feed monkey nuts to the fearless squirrels who'll take them right out your hands. If feeding monkey nuts to squirrels is your pleasure, there's no finer destination. We haven't tried it in summer too often, but I assume the flowers are nice and the squirrels remain hungry.

Beautiful flowers, trees and gardens. Very relaxing and a good place to catch up with friends. Not the easiest place to park near to though. Some good events held here too.

An inspiring walk around well kept gardens. The display beds were bursting with colour. The greenhouses were closed which was a real shame. Top tip. Nip into the nearby cemetery if you get a chance. Reminiscent of the hanging gardens of babylon!

The greenhouse closes relatively early on weekdays but the garden is still open. it’s quite spacious, so you can always find a quite spot if needed. great for picnics as well. It was quite clean I would say. the only challenge was finding toilets or a staff member to ask where those could be found

My favourite place in Sheffield. The gardens are always clean and a relaxing place to rest. There is plenty of wildlife such as squirrels, ducks and birds in the botanical gardens alongside the plant life. A great place for a date or picnic. But make sure to remove all rubbish after finishing. There is an inside area with many tropical flowers, trees and cacti. Additionally, it is completely free to enter. But encourages donations.

Great place, one of the best parks in Sheffield city. Beautiful plant displays, if you are in to plants. I learn new plants every time I go there. Very friendly squirrels. In general great place to enjoy a bit of nature in the midle of the city. Aswell some great events are happening there. I been to great event about bonfire night time.

Beautiful place and stunningly kept! Really impressive! 👏❤️ and completely free. Recommend parking on Thompson road. Pay and display but it's cheap to park. Well worth a visit, beautiful place with equally beautiful flowers!

Went an hour before closing so it was nice and quiet. The grounds are well maintained and kept free of rubbish, lots of wildlife, and it's sheltered from heavy winds. Lovely place to have a picnic in the late evening sunshine

We have driven past here so many times over the years and finally got to visit. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. A great find!

Wonderful open space for everyone to enjoy! Beautifully kept With a good variety of flowers, plants and trees, there's a grade ll listed glass pavilion housing a good selection of tropical plants and cactus. Well worth a visit!

Very pleasant walk around this charming (& free) gardens.

Always go there for the squirrels 😜🐿️there are dozens of them. As well as beautiful and exotic flowers. Very peaceful gardens.

The Botanical Gardens are lovely! There are quite a lot of plants I already have in my back garden in Malvern, Worcestershire. The gardens are a lovely place to walk and admire the scenery. Thank you Sheffield. Karen Thomas

One of the beautiful place❤️

19 acres of beautiful historic gardens. A true gem not far from the centre of Sheffield. I recommend paying a visit to the hidden Victorian Bear Pit. Highly recommended for a picnic or afternoon walk.

always loved the botanical gardens. had family visit sheffield and this is the first place I took them, so many plants/flowers to see, and I particularly like the inside area with tropical plants, never seen anything like it! would definitely recommend if you’re in sheffield

Great place to enjoy nature's bliss with family and children.. Lovely place 💓

We went for the firework night. The show was brilliant. We didn't see the facilities as they were obviously shut, so cannot comment on them. It was super busy and well thought out with real care and attention placed on covering muddy parts so you didn't get your feet messy, but the queues were long for food, drink, rides and such like. Despite the darkness it's obvious it's a pretty and well looked after place and we've decided to go back soon to see what we couldn't.

Absolutely love this place. I come here so often as it's so relaxing and refreshing. Lots of beautiful areas to explore. There's a cafe and public toilets (these are maintained and kept clean) which are handy.

Its a beautiful park, perfect for refreshing walks to clear your mind also, there is a cafe + toilets nearby which is excellent. Definitely recommend you go here as its one of the best parks in Sheffield.

love this place and could quite easily spend all day here. well looked after & no groups of idiots inside either.

We had a very nice walk on a beautiful day yesterday, everything was in bloom and the smell was lovely. A great place for a leisurely walk after a nice Sunday brunch with friends.

Fantastically peaceful place, you'd never think it's in the middle of a city with busy roads around it. Could do with more directional signage, but wandering about slightly lost was a treat in itself.

Love this oasis of trees, plants, flowers and greenery in the city centre. A lovely place to chill, explore and don’t forget the obligatory peanuts for the cheeky squirrels.

Sheffield's no.1 attraction in my opinion (when the weather is nice). Reasons are indicated by all these amazing photos attached. Make sure the weather is nice on the day though!

These are really beautiful gardens with magnificent trees, herbaceous borders, beautifully restored glasshouses full of fascinating plants. We had a great time wandering the various paths, finding quiet corners where one could sit and just be. There were clean toilets and even an ice cream van! Well worth visiting.

It was a nice afternoon there, the garden is well maintained and clean. The garden lacks refreshments and coffee areas, or at least by the time of my visit. Overall, it is a very nice place to spend some quality time

Sheffield Botanical Gardens is one of the most recommended places and most relaxing spots in Sheffield. It is located 1.5 miles away from Sheffield city center approximately 10 minutes drive from the city. The gardens are absolutely a perfect place for those who wish to enjoy a day picnic with friends and family. Visitors can explore over 18 different garden areas based on botanical themes. The gardens are spacious, well organised, nicely maintained, and therefore it is an ideal spot for photography. There is also a glass greenhouse with many interesting plants to explore.

So amazing to see how Sheffield has preserved and took care of nature especially the wildlife. Despite the modern living in the midst of the city, nature is still given the importance and value by the government. As a nature lover, that is what I really admired in the city.
