Such a great place to visit! And it's only a recommended donation of $5/person! The nature path was very tranquil and nice to walk through, with various sculptures and things to see. There was a cute play area for kids. And the inside building had a few nice things to see. The entire visit was a unique and fun few hours' experience for any age, and I'd definitely recommend this.

Wonderful area, parking was easy, beautiful maintained trails for walking and a nice little gift shop. Worth stopping by.

Absolutely perfect day looking at sculptures then cooling off at the welcome center. Peggy and the staff there are extremely kind, knowledgable, and friendly. Art work is amazing. Beautifully done. Highly recommend and I will most certainly be back.

Funky and contemporary modern setting perfect for local artists to demonstrate and show off their work. The indoor galleries are full of exhibits carefully crafted by artists far and wide. Totally mobility friendly exhibits with wide spaces and hallways, elevator and accessible bathroom. Special events throughout the year and lighted gardens in winter to celebrate the holidays. The outdoor paths through the sculpture gardens are evenly paved and easy to navigate via wheelchair or scooters. Great for strollers too. There are benches to sit throughout for tired tiny tot legs or arthritic joints. Nice serene setting outdoors for those with sensory issues. Lovely wooden and metal and mixed media installations along the path and hidden fairy houses within. Kids will enjoy looking for those, they pop up just about everywhere! Gorgeous setting that can really lower your blood pressure a bit being captivated by the beauty and calm of the tall surrounding trees. You can totally get your zen on here and relax, and the kids will greatly enjoy the children’s “hands on” art area. Put this one on your list when visiting Southern Maryland!

If you have kids, this is one of the best places to go in Calvert County. My childrens' homeschool co-op rents AMG's classrooms for our classes two days a week, and we are so grateful for this space, especially for free-play after classes. Perhaps the most popular attraction is the Garden in Lights holiday display. It is a showstopper every year. Halloween in the Garden is another big draw. It can get a little packed sometimes, but they have really gotten better at managing the crowds. I recommend looking online and reserving a ticket/entry times for events when available to help make entry a quick and easy process. Some other great events to be on the lookout for: Fairies in the Garden, Insectival, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Summer camps (nature, art, and yoga themed), and pottery classes. For year-round, everyday visits (my favorite), the Fairy Lolly is the most magical of all. 🧚‍♀️ Watching my kids play in nature and in this little imagination-fueled village is just the best. They are always adding new things to explore and enjoy. Home to aquatic turtles and an axolotl, the indoor wildlife display is also open year-round. It is kid-friendly, with plenty of safe tactile opportunities to keep little hands busy. Not to mention, the ever-changing, ever-growing art collection makes for such a wonderful atmosphere. Don't forget to check into the art studio to see if there is a free craft or community art project to participate in. 😍🎨 Lastly, the gift shop has some awesome finds for grown-ups & kids, and it is a great place to visit if you need something unique or if you are stumped on what to give someone. Fair warning: if you go into the main building through the front door, you are going to walk right through the kids' shop area. You might have a hard time getting little ones through there without spending some money. 😉 Luckily, if you are just visiting the Lolly, there is a booth located near its entrance, and you can check in there instead of the front desk.

We just did the outside portion. We walked along a paved 1/4 mile path to see fairy villages, sculptures, quirky signs, etc. There are places along the path to sit and reflect, one area is by the water. The path meanders through the woods, so it's nice and shaded.

Annmarie Gardens is a beautiful place to explore! There is so much to see!!! The sculptures are interesting and beautiful. We enjoy "Yarn Bombing" in one corner of the garden. Garden in Lights is AMAZING!!!

Very beautiful walk thru the sculpture garden, quiet and relaxing. Inside gallery was great also.Worth the visit. Free parking and minimal five dollar entrance donation..
