    The place was beautiful - we just came at a time when they decided to do an update on the grounds. The big section closed off, and working on it. We still were able to visit a lot of the beautiful flowers and trees. So peaceful here, even though, it was a windy day so, we didn't stay too long. They also have artwork for sale in the office. Don't forget to donate as they need this to keep up the grounds.

    Such an amazing place. Perfect place to bring family if they’re visiting from out of town and enjoy the outdoors. Park was absolutely stunning and also a great place to work out if you live in Oklahoma City and wanted to run up some stairs or just have some views during your run. Right in the heart of downtown.

    This place is beautiful and one of the coolest play grounds I’ve taken my kids too. They have so much cool stuff that I doubt you have seen before! It’s just beautiful. I will be going back! It’s peaceful, but lively, relaxing and invigorating, and it connects you with nature yet you are around tall buildings in the inner city!

    We had the best time.. and the varieties of plants that we have seen were kept so well! We were at the gardens on a rainy day and still enjoyed the outside a lot. It is very peaceful! The botanical garden is extraordinary! What surprised us as well is the souvenir shop. It had a lot of original buys! No complaints 😊

    Every time we go it looks absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait until they are finished renovating. It is a great place to take the family or go by yourself to go for a walk through some truly beautiful Gardens. The location is easy to get to and the parking is fair priced. There are also electric scooters and bikes available to ride in the area. There is a children’s area and during the summer there’s also a waterpark. The merry go round and snack shack or in that same area.

    Even though it was extremely hot, we thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The gift shop is nice. We loved looking at the featured artist's works. Except for the extreme heat it was a very nice experience. We will definitely be back in cooler months to experience the changes in plants and featured artists!

    Oh my goodness! I enjoyed this place so much! We will be back tomorrow, it had just closed when we got there so we didn’t get to walk the inside part but the outside was stunning! The life happening, the squirrels were so playful and fun to watch! There were all kinds of birds, and the fish, omg playful too! I really would recommend if you’re there! They were having a movie in the park tonight! It is all free! Carousel, water play area, and lots of places to “cop a squat.”

    Was pretty disappointed that OKC closes the crystal bridge at 5 pm during the holiday season! Why have it all lit up if you can't go inside after dark? I feel like the downtown could be made much more festive during the holidays . It was like a ghost town downtown, I get it that it was Tuesday , but with over a million people in the area , I think they are missing the mark. There weren't more than maybe 25 people in the entire area .

    A beautiful, spacious botanical garden with various kind of beautiful flowers, trees. Also found some activities like smell taking of different flowers, sound hearing of bird or insects.This is big enough to spend a good time here. You'll see some uncommon flowers too.

    I never get tired of coming to The Myriad Gardens. It just gets more and more beautiful everytime I visit. I love the dog park, walking until the sun sets over the water, walking by the ducks, children's park, beautiful, amazing carousel. Then the ice skaters laughing and skating to the music as everything lights up like a fairy land. It's just magical. The place is kept so clean and the lawn/gardens emaculent. Can't believe it's December.

    Very nice, serene, but humid. I highly recommend and came here on a road trip with my husband. I loved the gift shop and the grounds. However there is a admission fee. For two people it totaled ten bucks. So keep that in mind. I think it’s free to walk the grounds but to go inside the actual tropical gardens will cost. I still very much enjoyed my time and loved seeing all the plants.

    We had some time to spare so decided to walk around the botanical gardens. Beautiful time looking at all the plants and water features. I look forward to visiting the indoor gardens in sky bridge once it’s remodeled.

    I was blown away at how nice this park was. Its broken up into a few sections. The lake with a cool two level walking bridge. The surrounding parks with kids area, dog park, and plenty of spots to sit. And a theater area. Also a restaurant area with large patio, which did appear to be closed. Regardless you could spend hours here relaxing or walking around. Highly recommended. We stopped and visited the botanical Center on our way out of town before it got too hot in the morning. Everything was well-maintained and fun to look at. The variety in elevation and walking trails, and fountains and wildlife made it an entertaining place to visit and the best part is it’s completely free. There might be a cost to go across the glass bridge but it was closed. I highly recommend this wonderful free Garden in downtown Oklahoma City Marvelous, vibrant colors of flowers and grass, immaculately maintained including the restrooms, offering a place to walk amongst nature and to picnic during a time of closed restaurants, activities of ducks and songs of birds and scurrying of squirrels and squeals of delight from children. Exciting prospects of one day reopening to outdoor concerts. With all our hearts we gave thanks for this place.

    Even though the green house is under construction and reopening by Fall 2022, the rest of the garden is still a fantastic space for strolls. There are sufficient shaded areas with benches if you are needing to simply sit and enjoy the greenery surrounding you. There are a couple of splash pads for young and old to cool off in the heat of summer. The streetcar stop is also nearby if you want a ride to Midtown or Bricktown. Tickets can be bought at a kiosk ($1-$3 per adult).

    A pretty indoor garden with lots of thing to see and a cute gift shop connected. Google for some reason says it's free to visit the garden, but the inside/greenhouse is actually about 10.00 per an adult. The plants looked well taken care of and it was very warm inside. We didn't really get to explore outside since it was about 4 degrees outside during daylight, but the whole outside walking area looked huge. Probably great for kids! Would highly suggest visiting maybe after the last very frosty day of the season. This way the whole area can be enjoyed.

    It was amazing and as well as a different experience going to the garden during the Christmas season with the lights decorating the entire garden so beautifully. We like going here and I hope they continue this tradition in the upcoming years.

  • 5/5 Myisha L. 4 months ago on Google • 67 reviews
    We had such an amazing time.it felt so nice in there. We just strolled through admiring the place we already love all Christmasy. They even had someone playing Christmas songs on a keyboard with chairs gathered around to enjoy. The price was good. Very chill atmosphere.

    These gardens are gorgeous. They have so many good flowers and trees. There's many spots to relax and study, and different paths to walk down. They also have a few splash pads for the kids. The outside area is free, and there's an inside area where they sell art and you can pay to walk around the observatory. There's many parking lots nearby, and some free side street parking a block away.

    COME COME COME! Beautiful. Spacious. Warm. And colorful! Bring your kids, come with your partner, or your friends! It’s affordable and very peaceful to walk through. Plenty to see, smell, and touch! My favorite addition are these pipes across the garden that you can smell of the plants next to it. Definitely worth the wait of the recent remodel. Make this a date night! Staff is very kind, gift shop is also really cute with lots of work from local artist and businesses.

    Stunning variety of plants and trees. You feel like you are in a tropical oasis! The staff was very kind and helpful with my elderly parents. That was greatly appreciated. FYI....It's hot in there so dress in layers.

    Absolutely beautiful with the new renovations (not that it wasn’t already before). I’ve been periodically visiting the Myriad Botanical Gardens for the last 20+ years, and still enjoy it even now.

    Visited in November just to stretch my legs, so outdoor activities were closed. It was still a beautiful walk and appears to have much to offer in the warmer season

    Wonderful place to see beautiful colors! Spring bulb planting has begun...plan to visit there next spring, when all the tulips will be blooming. These pics were taken last April 4th. What an experience you won't want to miss! 🌷☀️

    Beautiful memories here and almost always a great experience! We love the beauty and art mixed with nature. Often great activities and fun for the kids and usually a peaceful atmosphere for all of us. I have been taking pictures of my family here for years.

    Closed for renovations right now, but we got to see the corpse flower in the lobby. That was very cool of them! Wonderful gardens. We can’t wait to see the new look when they’re open again :)

    Got to walk through the Botanical Gardens for the first time since they updated the interior. As usual this is a wonderful experience for the senses. The sounds, colors, and smells make you feel so close to nature in such a comfortable way. As you enter from the Air Conditioned lobby into this warm tropical oasis you are greeted with so many great experiences. Enjoy!

    Gorgeous place to visit! Has a cute little gift shop. Has great descriptions of the plants. Has a neat walkway up top too. There are spots that let you smell plants. The restrooms are clean. The front area has local art work. Since it was so hot we were given a discount. We immediately started sweating in there but still worth it. The gift shop does have pop and water available.

    What a beautiful place to take a stroll and enjoy some time with your loved ones. There are plenty of chairs and benches all around the park area to sit down and have picnics or relax. The enclosed Children's area with the splash pad is particularly fun and super cute. There's a merry go round next to the Children's okay are as well. When we went, the Crystal Bridge Conservatory was closed for construction so we didn't get to see any of it. However, there was plenty to explore and enjoy around the botanical gardens. Tips: it seems the homeless come bathe and cool down at the splash pad, though they didn't seem threatening and kept their distance from the kids, that's something to look out for.

    This place was beautiful and well managed. The different varieties of plants was so amazing to see. highly recommend stopping here! The ponds outside with the fish and ducks was a bonus! Wish there was more flowers that was bloomed to see. Loves the water fall great spot for Instagram pics. If you coming to Oklahoma this one is a must see. Only costs 11 dollars well worth it.

  • 5/5 Kia K. 2 years ago on Google
    This was such a fantastic place. Even with the indie visiting area, Children's garden, and other construction going on, it was an amazing place to visit. Bet I looks great at night. Sadly, there weren't many flowers in bloom, but it was still a great experience!

  • 5/5 Alicia S. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Beautiful and relaxing. It was a great place to visit on a cold winter day. They also had a good amount of information to learn about the different plants and a free tour with a horticulturalist.

  • 3/5 Dawn K. 2 years ago on Google
    Our first time here 9-24-21 and it's really relaxing and beautiful. There's a main building crystal bridge that's under construction that won't be open till next year that we were bummed we didn't get to see so we'll be back. Metered parking and seen several getting tickets on their windows.

  • 5/5 Nanda S. 2 years ago on Google
    What an innovative garden design! Beautiful circular terraces with a flowing waterfall is the Center of the garden. We especially loved the children’s garden and fountains/sprinklers. So refreshing! Unfortunately, the conservatory was closed for repairs.

  • 5/5 V P. 2 years ago on Google
    This Place is Beautiful 😍 Day and Night. We were there on the right time when the tulips are blooming. There's children garden for kids to play in playgrounds (open from 9 am to dusk), Carousel (open from 11am to 6 pm), Splash Pad, Public restroom, and so much more. 2 hour limit free parking available around the garden.

  • 5/5 Mistah L. 1 year ago on Google
    The Busker Fair at the Myriad Botanical Gardens was a blast!!! It was a great event they do once a year towards the end of summer... We had ice cream from Wonder Pops, there was a taco truck and beer trailer as well. A night of fun for the whole Family!!!

  • 5/5 Kay W. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a lovely time at the Botanical Gardens and Crystal Conservatory! They had a Tulip Festival the day we went, and there were tons of people, but still so much to do, so much yummy food and fun entertainment! The normal Botanical Gardens are definitely worth a visit. There are some lovely plants and flowers, and you can have a great walk in the middle of the city.

  • 5/5 LS S. 1 year ago on Google
    An oasis of green in the bustling city! Love the spring gardens full of tulips and daffodils. Dress in layers for the conservatory—it’s super sunny and warm. Enjoyed some beautiful specimens in the tropical section! Loved it so much we became members!

  • 5/5 July A. 9 months ago on Google
    A place of absolute beauty in the heart of Oklahoma City. The outside grounds are available to walk around for free, whereas the Crystal Bridge requires paid admission to enter. Both offer beautiful visual sights to behold. If you have the chance to visit often enough, you'll see different flowers in bloom around the grounds depending on which month you visit.

  • 5/5 Kevin H. 10 months ago on Google
    The outside gardens are very nice and free. The inside greenhouse is 3 stories of fantastic planets and trees and is worth the entry fee. If you want to see the inside garden do it early because it gets hotter later in the day. There is a gift shop.

  • 5/5 Uli K. 9 months ago on Google
    Took my grandkids to the Botanical Garden and we had a blast. The flowers were gorgeous and the little ones enjoyed the ducks,turtles and fishes you were able to see. At the end we visited the play area for the kids with a little mist/ water area to cool off. It was fun for everybody and I can only suggest for everybody to come and visit.

  • 5/5 Hassan S. 9 months ago on Google
    A very nice garden specially for families; kids will enjoy it and have lots of fun while feeding the fish, ducks and some birds.. It’s nice for a walk and photo shoots.

  • 5/5 Dennis L. 9 months ago on Google
    Definitely worth checking out when visiting OKC! You can start outside by exploring the park and landscaping, then go inside to see plant 🌱🌿and flower 🌺🌷🌹species from all over the world. 🌍 The large green house is roughly 3 stories and had an elevator for anyone that is in a wheelchair or that has mobility restrictions.
