I always love coming here, the gardens are so well maintained and beautiful. Do expect it to be warm inside so if you’re wearing a jacket or a sweater you may want to leave that in the car because it’ll be hot and humid inside. I love seeing all of the plants and they have a sweet bird that I love to see too.

We went for my sons birthday party. The parking areas surround the block with paid 2 hour parking except on Saturdays when parking is free. We parked on the East side closer to the eateries and a rock waterfall. We brought a cake and also took 4 loaves of bread with us to feed the ducks and fish. We took loads of photos and videos.First, we went inside and also bought some ladybugs to set free in the inside garden. It was wonderful. Before you enter the garden there is plenty of artwork to see. Once inside the garden theres a bridge where you can see the fish swimming in the water and theres a beautiful waterfall. There are loads of magnificent plants and flowers to check out. There is also an elevator inside to take you to the different levels.On the outside we went on Mos Carousel, the splash pad and into the Childrens Garden. The Childrens Garden had a maze, circular swing and a tree house in it..with loads of other things for kids to do..it was so fun, we stayed way longer then expected all because the kids were having so much fun and making new friends. At night the whole place comes alive with color changing lights, its just beautiful.

We went today visiting from NV. I would give 5 stars, but there was a couple having their own personal photo shoot mask free holding everyone else up. This is not your own personal Hollywood stage and being that it is sweltering inside with no airflow, I dont know if walking around mask free is a good idea. Other than that, we enjoyed the outside grounds and the inside was beautiful. We loved seeing the tropical side as well as the dry, desert since we came from the desert. Most of the items were things we have in our yard, so it was pretty accurate. This is a good learning opportunity and an escape from the normal routine..

We liked the Christmas decoration and the pond with ducks. We are not familiar with many types of plants or flowers. Some more signs will be helpful.

This place is amazing. You have splash pads for the kids. It is very scenic to just walk and enjoy. There is a myriad of plants, fountains and waterfalls. It is great for a family or for date night. I even saw a wedding taking place. Great job OKC on the park, definitely an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Beautiful place for a walk outside with gorgeous views of the downtown skyline. I didnt get to visit the inside as it is closed on Thanksgiving.

Review №8

One of my favorite places in the OKC metro area. A great first, second, or forever date spot. Plus, great for friends! I may be biased as Im a botany nerd, but the signs there are incredibly helpful. Its also not too hard to travel around inside, even if you have physical limitations. Some spots you wont be able to view, but a majority of the interesting stuff is on the lower level and available to people of all abilities. The cheapness certainly helps it be a great place to visit if you need to get out of the house safely!

The crystal bridge was very neat and my whole family loved it. This was my first time going and we are now members. Great experience.

My family has loved attending events in the past that Myriad has put on or sponsored. However, having attended a few in 2020 that require masks and with no enforcement to make sure people are actually wearing them, we wont be frequenting any further events.Ive been told that I shouldnt leave my house if Im worried about people wearing masks, although Oklahoma City and Myriad very clearly require them so I thought these events were safe. Im not going to risk my familys health because Myriad wont tell science-denying hillbillies that they need to follow directions if theyre attending their event.

My family and I always have a great time when we visit here. The playground is a great play for kids. I personally love learning about and smelling the various flowers. The fish, although you arent allowed to fish are wonderful to look at. If you are in to sports, there are two basketball and soccer courts across the street.

The kids and I had so much fun exploring the outdoor (free) portion of the botanical gardens. The children’s garden was favorite, and all the fresh herbs growing in the vegetable garden were very cool.

A nice place. It has two areas- indoor (with an entrance fee- about $12 pp) and outdoor (free). The indoor conservatory is pretty and large with many different plants and even waterfalls. The outside area is much larger- see the photos.

Great place to get out of the cold and experience some beautiful plants and picturesque moments. They have all kinds of plants with the descriptions if you are interested and have a lot of great places to take professional family or couple photos. The surrounding park is beautiful too although I would go in the spring or summer.

A wide variety of places to sit and relax. Well kept up; all the plants looked healthy and didnt notice any trash laying around. A good place to have lunch, feed the ducks or koi fish, practice yoga, go for a run etc. 2 hour limit paid parking, I believe its 2/hr. You can pay with coins or card. They do write tickets. Ive been by twice and both times Ive seen parking tickets on cars.

This is a great place to walk around. Kids can play in the childrens park or 2 different water features or ride the carousel. There are plenty of coi fish, ducks, rabbits and other animals to discover. Can play a killer game of Eye Spy. And that is just outside, inside has so many plants. Wonderful staff.

Review №32

Let me tell you how beautiful this park is. I went with a friend for my birthday. Even though it is down town I think, you still feel like you are away from the fast life. They have many of places you can sit. Feed the fishes, see rabbits up close, learn about different types of flowers, take family photos, and many more things to do. You do have to pay for parking which is 2 dollars for 2 hours. I will definitely be back before I leave for another state.

Stunningly beautiful and a family favorite! Fun areas for the dogs, the kids, and the adults!We actually had our wedding ceremony and reception here because we love it so much!The park is beautiful and the staff is passionate about their profession. The botanical gardens truly are one of the best things about downtown Oklahoma City. I highly recommend you check out the up coming events or just stop by for a stroll any time of the year!

Review №35

The splash pad is a real treat for the kids. Their 30 minute arrangement nicely blends splashes that are less intimidating to preschoolers to fill showers that makes grade schoolers squeal. Theres fun for everyone.The volume of the speakers could be turned down a tad slightly, and they sound very sharp to the ears. When playing the nature sounds, the booming thunder can potentially scare younger children.

Review №36

In from out of town and wanted to spend time with family here, but the front desk ladies were very rude and wanted to randomly discuss politics with my younger brothers...? telling them who to vote for and being very inappropriate. It ruined the fun and bothered us the entire time we were there. Wouldve been nice to just pay and walk in to enjoy the gardens, but we couldnt believe the front desk people acted so unprofessional, trying to tell us who we should vote for, which is nobodys business but our own. It was so unexpected and very out of line. Pretty gardens, but they need some new front desk employees, ones who mind their own business.

It was a beautiful garden. Although the indoor tropical section was small, there was a lot to take in. The outdoor area is designated for more lawn events, not as much botanical focus, but very pretty.

Its a very beautiful place to take your family, friends, or group. There are many opportunities to learn, whether you are studying Botany, learning photography, or just a child learning about life. You must see it !

Review №45

Unfortunately the outside was closed due to the damage from the ice storm. The childrens garden is still open. The bridge inside was great to see, very humid inside but I guess is needed for the health of the plants.

Review №46

Super variety of plants. My wife and I enjoyed walking through. I disagree with the review about staying outside and saving money. The interior does have a fee so if your concern is the activity and you don’t love seeing plants you’ve never seen, allowed to thrive in concert with great presentation and gorgeous colors, patterns; along with educational placards then I guess they may be correct.To each his/her own. If you found this helpful, please “like”.

This place was very beautiful. Great for picture taking. I saw lots of people with hired photographers doing just that. Im in the wrong business. Theres a carousel for those that like going round and round and a play area for the kids. Lots of ducks to throw bread at and plenty of green grass with shade to go relax on. Theres even a large field to go have fun in. Dont miss out!

We went there on Sunday, its a nice place to walk around, good garden, splash pads, ducks, and playground. 4 is good because the fee for the greenhouse is too much for a very small greenhouse literally small and charged us $7 promotional price. My suggestion, the price should be $3- 2 only.

These gardens are beautiful! There are signs everywhere displaying the different plant species. And there is a waterfall that everyone seems to gravitate towards. The lighting is perfect for pictures. Great spot for photographers!

Certainly is one of places to go in Oklahoma City. Have to pay to park, but there are close parking lots or along the street. The variety of the the plants, trees, cactus, orchids, vines, etc. are awesome. Some of the large growing Have been there a long time. You can look and come back to same area and see something new you did not see the first time. Kid, wheelchair friendly.

Nice area to go for an early morning run before people start showing up. It’s an oasis of plant life downtown. Good place for landscaping inspiration. Plants are labeled so it’s easy to get ideas for what to plant at home. The children’s area has some interesting educational exhibits and a fun play area as well.

By far one of the best places I have been to in a long time. You could spend hours enjoying the different plants and birds you can find throughout the dome. At some point you forget your actually on a bridge in the air. Its quite magical. Like a portal to another world.

Beautiful free outdoor park, loved the indoor gardens as well (totally worth the $). I wish we would have known about the water feature outside but well be prepared next time! The kids loved all the interpretive features and I feel like we all learned a lot... plus plenty of room to run and get their wiggles out. Must stop and see!

If you love gardens or public parks, this is the place for you. An impeccably designed and well executed garden, this park has something for everyone: dog park, childrens park, yoga on the weekend, ECT. Always something to do and something new to discover at Myriad Botanical Gardens. The crown jewel of Oklahoma City in my opinion. Parking is relatively easy to find and theres always something in bloom.

A very colorful experience. Every where you look you see another type or variety of plant. My recommendation is dress light, its very humid inside.If you are a guy looking for a good date opportunity to interest the girl or a parent wanting to introduce your kids to new sights and smells, you wont go wrong here.

The gorgeous tulips in the Spring time makes the gardens my favorite midday walk break downtown. Saw the first Monarch, albeit early, of the season. The childrens garden is in full swing and composting applications on the Great Lawn will yield wonderful soft grass for the upcoming concert series and other great programming at the Gardens! Happy Spring!

The summer concert series has been a interesting mix of genres. We were here with friends and family from out of town and enjoyed the music and festivities of the evening. Their were groups of concert goers who brought snacks and drinks with plenty to share with others nearby. A great family atmosphere. With just just one more evening remaining this season we look forward to attending next year!

Beautiful well maintained gardens, you can tell that the staff really cares about the plants and gardens. Outdoor area is completely accessible and full of areas to sit and enjoy the view. Lots of nice waterfalls make it very relaxing and mask the sound of traffic. Inside is extremely clean and meticulously cared for. Many interesting plants with markers describing origins and characteristics. More waterfalls inside as well as bridges, ponds and small seating areas. I would definitely recommend this to tourists and locals.

This is a very nice echo system built for learn and observing plant nature from around the world. Each plant has a description and origin i.e. location. It is a great place to bring students.on a field trip to learn about plant life. It is also a great place for adults to get ideas for their own green room and tropical ecosystem. There are places for event and concerts as well. On my trip half of the internal gardens was closed. I am looking forward to visiting the other half once it reopens. Love this place.

Had a wonderful time at the pumpkin patch this past weekend with our grandsons. We also went through the crystal bridge and really loved it. The care and beauty of the plants inside is so wonderful.

This is a spectacular and beautiful garden and outdoor area. It adds a lot to downtown. Its so pleasant to walk/run around and its usually is calm and not crowded. But its also a good place for events and weddings. There are public restrooms, a restaurant nearby and a little cafe too. I really love how much it adds to the town.
