So beautiful and the fragrance garden is embedded in my brain.. loved it all. Definitely a must. $10 dollars for adults $5 for children may hinder some but to me its worth it.

This was my first time out here. Im glad me and my wife brought our kids. It was great way to get them out the house and to a movie.

Gorgeous!! Love it here, I think I’ve been here years ago for a field trip when I was little. It was such an amazing experience! Loved it and still do, the bridge is beautiful, love the flowers, gardens, and wonderful creatures️ Very clean and well kept property! Keep up the great work. Highly recommend, especially great place for family & couple photoshoots

Such a delightful place to spend a day or just a few hours. So well maintained we with such a great staff. Beautiful and exceptionally affordable - everyone should support such a Memphis treasure.

Children (and big kids) would LOVE The Big Backyard! You may even spy a chipmunk scurrying on the grounds. Birthday parties are available here, so be sure to ask about it. Make plans to attend and appreciate the beauty within the center of Memphis.

Memphis beautiful civic garden is a beautiful and peaceful haven in the center of the city. It features a variety or regional plants, a Japanese garden, art and special events. A popular annual music series, Live at the Garden is a local tradition loved by many. Centrally located.

Holiday Wonders was amazing. Really puts you in the Christmas spirit

Beautiful, not crowded. Well maintained gardens, a cool variety of paved as well as side paths. Fun for ppl of all ages. The fragrance garden and butterfly garden were favorites.

Beautiful park. Also the best, and safest, place to play pokemon GO in the entire city. I also enjoy spending time by the pond with all the pretty koi.

Its always nice to see what they have growing there. Love the plant sales too! Staff I talked to was quite knowledgeable about medicinals.

We love the Botanical Garden! The family membership is well worth the cost. It pays for itself in no time and you save a decent amount on events and fun things. My 4yo is currently having an absolute blast at one of their summer camps and I got to wander around taking photos of just one corner of the garden. Theres so much to see here. Educational and beautiful. Staff is very friendly too. 5 stars, easy. Id give more if I could.

Wonderful gardens. beautuful. I would have liked more signs indicating names of plants. Bushes and trees. I used to know them but Im getting old and forgetting their names.

Awe inspiring landscape. The very environment itself seemed to hum with life. The gardens were almost like a different realm entirely. Stepping onto the grounds is synonymous with traveling to a different world. Please do not disrespect this place or its foliage.* all credit for the picture goes to Salem Monrovia*

The best thing about the garden is the Coi pond. It is a nice getaway from all the noise in Memphis. It could use a little more upkeep and directional signs to make sure you dont miss anything or get lost.

Memphis Parent Camp Expo was on Saturday, March 23rd, 10am-1pm at the Memphis Botanic Gardens in Memphis, Tennessee. This was a free event for families!Camp Expo has summer camps, day camps, extra-curricular camps, and more. Presenters from each camp did explain more info with parents, fun activities, and arts and crafts for the kids. Also present will be presenting sponsor Orion Federal Credit Union with information about their 5k coming up on June 8, 2019 and other event sponsors was there.Memphis Botanic Garden had complimentary admission to the Japanese origami Garden and to My Big Backyard for all attendees. Food trucks and other fun activities, a fun day of learning for parents and kids!

Beautiful and perfectly kept gardens. An excellent place to relax, meditate, and clear your mind. Some areas are kid friendly also.

I had never been to the botanical gardens but this was delightful. We went for the cherry blossom festival and the to try out the food trucks. Unfortunately the trucks sold out. We really enjoyed the arrangement and layout of the park and the origami displays. It really is worth getting the membership.

Beautiful gardens. Very peaceful .

Beautiful gardens and very manageable to stroll and see everything. A bit sparse this time of year naturally but not disappointing. Some fountains still flowing and the zen garden is relaxing all times of the year. Can’t wait to return in spring!

My son planned his engagement at the Beautiful Botanical Gardens!It was perfect and Peg Parish and Michael were wonderful to work with!!!Thank you for being so accommodating!Sincerely, Debbie Haltom ( one happy mom)️

Its awesome place to have nice late afternoon walk.

Such an amazing gem in Memphis! If you love plants, fresh air, and friendly koi fish, youll love this place

Wide open expanses of nature mixed with a wonderful children’s area. Especially liked the off the road trails and rustic structures. Vibrant colors and foliage. Well worth being a member!

This was an INCREDIBLE experience. There were different themes of areas for different flower. There was an Asian theme, Japanese theme, butterfly garden and then different places with different types of flowers like the rose garden.They do big events, catering and provide learning and play for kids.Its a huge area. Plan to spend hours and brings good camera.

Its very relaxing never saw so much beautiful trees and plants in on place

The area around the pond is quiet and great for a picnic in the shade.

A great, diverse botanical garden. Plant labeling is sparse. But great diversity.

Beautiful greenspace. Great for kids (MyBigBackyard) and for all. My favorite was the Herb Garden!

A peaceful place to take children on nature walks its pretty Cool!! MEMPHIS, TN HAS REALLY COOL PLACES

Whether you are a lover of nature, an artist looking for a place that inspires you, or you just appreciate beautiful flowers, you will love this place.The Asian and Japanese gardens, and the lily circle were probably my favorite, there were so many different lillies that I had never seen before. If you come, plan to spend a few hours to walk around and see everything, and dont forget your camera.

Tip: you can bring food to feed the koi fish with!The botanic garden is huge!! We spent about 2+ hours there just walking around. We went in March and there weren’t many things alive, but it was still beautiful.Download the audio app. It was fun listening to the details about the Japanese garden.There was a lot of renovations which is good for the botanic gardens, but I was disappointed that there wasn’t a gift shop. I would love to go after all of the renovations and in later spring. I’m sure it’s gorgeous.

Feed the fish, so fun. Beautiful area

Great place to go during this crazy time just to relax especially with fall season starting

There is so much to explore. Restroom and hydration options are well placed throughout the gardens and theres many locations for play for the kids. A wonderful location to enjoy with the family.

It was a great experience. Annuals were behind due to the cool month weve had. There were some dry plants and weeds. Restrooms were not easy to find, but I still enjoyed the afternoon.

A great place to relax and/or commune with nature. There are several areas for youngsters to explore and play which is a nice feature. I passed by one area where a staff member was giving a nature talk to children. I would prefer more signs identifying the plants

Not what I expected. The grounds and gardens were not very well kept.Even with Covid I would have expected better !

Great place to support. They have dog nights as well!

An hour and 1/2 into the event (and waiting in line) ALL the food available was gone. Not much of a picnic. The grounds were beautiful.

Nice relaxing place. My son absolutely loved feeding the fish. Good for a visit when in Memphis.

Totally different than what is expected. What a diamond in the rough. So fun for kids... And absolutely breathtaking.

Extensive grounds. Well kept. Each area has a different theme. The kids play area is quite impressive.

This is one of my favorite places to go in Memphis. The whole place is beautiful. There is so much to see and do. My son loves exploring all the different gardens and feeding the fish. The special events are a blast. I love the variety of events they offer.

Beautiful place to take my daughter. She loves the Big Backyard and feeding the fish. I love the scenery and the constant photo ops it provides.

Enjoyable, peaceful, educational. Really enjoyed the farming exhibit

This is a very beautiful place to take your significant other, your kids, or just yourself.Very peaceful and quiet.A sense of relaxation.

We visited the backyard and it was a total hit with our kids. Were from St. Louis and there are many more variety of hands on kids activities here than at the St. Louis botanical gardens. We happened to visit on a Monday to make mud pies, and it was very well planned out. See pictures for other activities like a row of play houses for kids, a giant spider net to climb, a big sand play area plus not pictured is a water play area, giant earthworms and tunnels, tree house and slide, puppet area, dress up area ...so much for little ones to explore. Note: its real nature play.

We went last night for Holiday Nights at the Garden and really enjoyed. Decent array of lights. Lots of fun stuff for the kids. Good concessions. Hopefully the keep expanding the lights to more of the park. Have also been during the day for the full botanical garden experience & I must say it is breathtaking when everything is in bloom.

What a great place for a quiet walk and peaceful time!! So much to enjoy! The backyard exhibit was our favorite.

The gardens are a wonderful place to come 365 days out of the year!!! Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful place to visit! I went there to take birthday pictures and it was lovely! Highly recommend!

It was an awesome day at the Memphis Botanic Garden with my grandson Carter Curtis and his class, Thanks Mrs. Stauffer.

An awesome and underrated botanical garden. The day lilies were in full bloom and the variety huge. Large beautiful magnolias. Feed koi in pond. Gentle well-maintained paths.

The Memphis Botanical Garden is a great place to go and break up some self isolation during covid-19. You can purchase tickets online to do a hands-free transaction. Please be aware that everything is outside and dress accordingly with sunglasses, good shoes, and sunscreen. Please note, that different exhibits change throughout the season. When we went, the different types of daisies and coneflowers were in high bloom as were the canna lilies. Vibrant colors were enjoyed. There are quite a few fountains to sit by and relax, but be aware there is a lot of walking involved.

The botanic gardens in Memphis are beautiful. Very well maintained, designed with families in mind with interesting things to climb on and through for Kids as well as a gorgeous Asian garden with huge koi ponds, a tiny outdoor chapel for weddings and an amphitheater. I loved this place!

Lovely and spacious walking paths. My only suggestion would be more labels on plants and trees. Incredibly beautiful and a little quirky.

Its beautiful and fun. Almost magical.

Beautiful garden with different sections. Appreciated the Japanese Garden most.

Fantastic place to spend a day. Large and varied with a great childrens area.

The Memphis Botanic Gardens is quite an expanse of areas to discover. The landscaping is great and gives plenty of places for nature lovers to explore the variety and complexity of plants. If you have kids, you can share that complexity or uncover dinosaur bones, play in a rainstorm, storm a castle, play house, and much more. You can have a full day as a family exploring all the trails and hidden activities and take home some truly worn out children; bonus!

We loved our visit here! We were especially impressed by the childrens area, it was amazing!

$10 per person. Very nice flower garden, Japanese garden, and the wood area. Pretty big children playground.

Loved our visit! So many diverse areas, including one for Prehistoric Plants...never seen that before. This was our first time but wont be our last!

We attended a wedding here and it was perfect.

Beautiful! And my seven-year-old son loved it, too!

Beautiful place. Enjoyed our time there, but not happy with one of the staff members at the entrance wishing everyone who is attending the Trump rally get sick. Regardless of your political affiliation, wishing ill or death upon another human is not right.Response to Owners Response: it was on Saturday, June 20th around 12:30. 2 women sitting at the entrance outside, and it was older woman who said that.

The Japanese koi pond here is one of the best I have ever seen! I come here every time I am in Memphis.

We are so Blessed to have this Beautiful Oasis of nature..

Hardly any flower spaces, best kids area EVER but overall the best plants are the beautiful dark red crepe myrtles in the parking lot.

Absolutely lovely place to let your children explore and have a very creative and imaginative experience!

Lovely! Probably my new favorite place to visit in memphis.

Second time in Memphis...found this gem. Such a beautiful garden. Great space for events

Theres always something beautiful to look at. Whats not to love? This is a great place to spend an afternoon hiding from co-workers who want to having meetings to plan more meetings. I highly recommend it.

Gorgeous experience, particularly around Lake Biwa. The staff were very friendly as well. Would strongly suggest stopping by and picking up a pass.

Our family reunion was great. The staff was great to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure the floor plan, linens, and timing of the event was perfect.

A wonderful place to untether the family from screen time & enjoy outdoors. The childrens area is just as fun for grown-ups & every family needs a photo on the red bridge or the fields of daffodils during Spring.Meandering along the winding paths is like a reset for your brain from winter blahs.

Dec 2017 Nice kids area but nothing much to see that’s botanical garden. Only live plant looks like a cabbage, others it’s pretty dead for this time of the year.

Not as what I expected! My daughter went on a school field trip here and I went along to see what thought would be a bunch of beautiful plants, flowers etc. It was a bunch of fields basically with tents set up with stations for the kids to learn about different cultures around the world. Very educational but not a lot of what was expected!

Beautiful and well maintained botanic garden. I recommend going during the times when you can feed the koi fish. Its an amazing experience.

Hardly any flowers!! Beautiful property, but hardly any flowers anywhere. Very disappointed.

Wonderful place to enjoy some time in the nature!

Great place for the entire family! A beautiful place any time of year. My kids love the Big Back Yard and feeding the koi. My husband and I love letting the kids explore the outdoors in a safe environment.

Beautiful gardens. Knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Beautiful gardens! It is a peaceful spot in the middle of the city.

Its a very beautiful place to visit

Amazing place for a walk and some nice time

Tons of fun, good place to go to spend a day, lots of room to roam and just look around, lots of well thought out themed sections, and if you stay on the main path you can pick and choose what sections you go through, downside is, its hard to make sure you see them all and there is a lot to see.

This is our go-to spot when the weather is nice. My children love My Big Backyard and feeding the koi, and my husband and I love walking the paths. The facilities are lovely and well kept, and weve enjoyed every event weve attended. I highly recommend joining -- once you visit, youll definitely want to come back!

Good my friend got fiancéd. #wedding2023/25

Beautiful place for walking or meditation

We attended the Arbor Day celebration and tree identification class. Beau and Linnea were excellent hosts and informed us of ways to ID trees even in winter, before leaves come on. Very interesting and lots of good information.

The Memphis Botanic Garden is gorgeous, serene and has a lovely cafe to grab lunch. My favorite season to visit is when the daffodils are blooming in early March. You’ll find the most beautiful magnolia blooms later in the spring. The smell is nearly magical. ️

Always a great family outing! Especially now during the pandemic

Love taking my kids to play in the big backyard. Love seeing the geese and koi fish in the water. Love seeing the cherry blossoms grow. They also awesome events for members and plant sales.

If you need a nice relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of your week to week, then this is the place to be. Its a calm atmosphere where I can take my family to go for walks in the peaceful enviornment.

Nice spot to be. I used to do security at this place and loved it then. Even better when going to the events.

Went to a class about succulents. Had a great time.

My Mothers day at the garden was lovely. The kids enjoyed my big backyard exhibition its fun for all ages

Fabulous! Beautiful! Well run!

Best green space.
