Such a beautiful setting and the wedding was spectacular..... They worked with the bride and groom during this difficult time in our history and had a magnificent ceremony and reception. Absolutely I would recommend this to anyone looking for a venue

Very neatly kept, great for a day out to enjoy the good weather. Masks are required to walk around. There are paths at the end of the gardens that lead to Beargrass Creek and will eventually take you to the Ohio River, highly recommend the roughly 3/4 mile walk. Stroller can be used, although paths aren’t extremely wide. Volunteers at the Gardens were very informative. Plenty of parking. Public restrooms and water fountains are available.

This place is awesome considering it just opened in October 2019. There was a lovely lady there who shared her knowledge of benefactors, fauna & flora of the gardens and she made it an even nicer outing. I also liked the water feature donated by the water company. I look forward to going back and I hope our city develops more destinations like Louisville Botannical Gardens.

My son and future daughter-in-law are getting married here tomorrow and today was rehearsal day. I was told this this place is finally constructed after almost a year and I must say, this is an excellent Botanical Garden here at the Louisville waterfront. I highly recommend those who love flowers to come visit here, you will not be disappointed. Thus far, we are enjoying our vacation here from mountains of Colorado.

I love this place! The first phase just opened in October 2019. The Beargrass Creek Pathway just opened and future phases will continue to be built out over the years. It’s going to be great to see this garden develop and GROW. So thankful to finally have a botanical garden in Louisville. Looking forward to when the conservatory open someday. The site and the organization that developed this garden have a pretty cool history. This 23-acre garden is built on a landfill. What a great way to reclaim the land! Also, Waterfront Botanical Gardens is a non-profit so consider making a donation to enable the continued growth of the garden!

Amazing place for families of all ages. They even offer pedestrian entrance and place to park your bikes when entering from Butchertown Greenway. Can not wait to see future phases!

It’s still in the early stages (trees and plants need to grow in, only partially built) but so far so good. The only negative is that it’s right next to the highway making it a bit noisy. other than that i really like it. I can’t wait to see it completed. It will be something to enjoy for generations to come.

Very serene. Picnics are not typically allowed. (Bummer) Very small but plans for expanding are in the future.

Beautifully laid out butterfly and bee gardens with a gorgeous water sculpture that frames a perfect shot of downtown Louisville.You can follow the path to a shady walk that ends on River Road. Plenty of great photo opportunities.

Only the first section was open so far. Serene garden. Enjoyed seeing the plants. Will be something when more opens. One neat statue with sprinkler in it on a timer. Never came on. Adjust so on more often. Like to see everything. Ridiculous mask required walking outside near no one.

Only an outdoor garden. Cool water sculpture but we saw the whole place in 5 minutes. Did I miss something?

The newly opened botanical garden right outside of Louisville, Kentucky is a pleasant getaway from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The first phase of this garden includes a vegetable garden and flowers of all different species and varieties. The next phase will feature a walking trail around the property.

Attended very first Aglimmer tonight. The gardens were decked out in beautiful holiday lights, Santa was there for the children, and the lovely Sacred Heart Madrigal Choir sang for us. Refreshments for all and a crafts table for the children. It was very magical. Highly recommend.

How can a place with 4.8 stars not be open? It would be great if the website were clearer about the fact that the facility is still under construction and not open to the public.
