    Gorgeous place, lots of greenery. Completely magical. There is also a cafe inside to sit down, have a coffee and admire the view. The winter garden is attached to a museum - there is one ticket for everything. Great way to spend an hour or two, certainly worththe detour from the seaside while travelling back to Vilnius from holiday.

    Žiemos Sodas - very beautiful and large area. Winter Garden. Museum. Suitable for visiting with children. Friendly staff.

    Beautiful location to visit with fascinating history. A must visit if you're nearby. The food served in the restaurant is really good and the staff are lovely but the setting and location are exquisite. You're literally dining in the balcony greenhouse, home to enchanting fish and turtles in the pond the floor below. They're also open much later than the museum next door so no need to rush your tour!

    First and only visit was ~20 years ago. Today it still amazes me. Cool plants, turtles, fancy fish and a birdie - worth a visit. Nice park paths with full of shade to stroll around.

    Compact but nicely renovated. 15 mins is enough for sightseeing. You can reserve a place to dine in too, which could be a nice experience. There are few turtles and some Japanese fish living in the palm house. During your visit the banana tree had fruits, but was still green.

    Wonderful, cozy place to spend an hour or two. Warm, humid air, greens, turtles,v fishes and even birds inside.

    It is unfortunately being oversold and the actual experience is quite underwhelming. Ticket prices are only 5 € for adults, so it might sound like a good deal, but there's a lot of room for improvement on almost every step of the way. Once you enter you're pleasantly guided to where to start and how to continue. And then you enter the museum part. There was very little information about the numerous interesting (!) exhibits; there are some interactive exhibits too, but we found only one of them to be working/turned on. Now to the winter garden.. it is the last stop in the tour and has interesting plants there, but there's not even labels on what plants there are and where they're sourced/originated from. When you enter the winter garden the smell is immediately taken over by the smell of the restaurant inside it. I haven't tried the restaurant, so can't report on it, maybe the whole experience is different if you decide to dine there, as the tables in the winter garden do look alluring. Though some of the last exhibit rooms are right between restaurant tables so there's foot traffic next to those dining or waiting for their food. Again quite awkward. So now YMMV, just go there without your expectations set high.

  • 5/5 Bora D. 4 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    Nice view, good food (slow but good service) regular price yet very small museum.

  • 5/5 Modestas 3 months ago on Google • 20 reviews New
    Quite a nice place, but to feel the aura it needs to be visited at unpopular hours/days. Also some plants, sadly, attacked by a Mealybug, I hope caretakers are aware of this.

  • 5/5 Mantas P. 1 month ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    A very beautiful winter garden and a restaurant in it, it's a pity we didn't try the food

  • 5/5 Elvyra P. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    I was impressed by the abundance of blooming flowers! Extraordinary beauty! A table with the name of the flower is attached to each plant. A very nice employee invited me to look at the jewelry of the artist. I drew attention to the uniqueness of some products, which I might not have noticed. Thank you very much for this consideration. While there were no visitors, the same worker told about the Winter Garden and some plants. A big thank you for such created beauty and for welcoming visitors so kindly

  • 4/5 Jolita J. 6 years ago on Google
    Beautiful small winter garden, maybe in winter time it's more interesting. I thought it's way biger. Entrancy fee is very cheap. Beautiful cactuses and some other plants. Dinner tables inside. Some turtles, fishes in the pool inside.

  • 5/5 kestas s. 2 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful place. You can make nice pictures in there

  • 5/5 Marijus K. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely environment with live fish, turtles and growing bananas (among many others). Protip: you don't need a ticket if you are only visiting the cafe and from it you can see almost all of the winter garden.
