Fun place to visit with kids, with a group, or by yourself. Bring a picnic and you can sit on the open grass which overlooks the water and train tracks, or do the scavenger hunt to find all the animals and items. Flowers are beautifully set up with different themes.

This garden is outstanding for the variety of topiarys. All kinds of animals and even some people. Lots of beautiful flowers are interspersed around the topiary figures. If you want to see a special place, the Green Animals Topiary Garden is a treat,

Wow! So many topiaries as well as flowers, shrubs, vines, fruits and veggies, trees, roses... unbelievable gardens! Way better than expected and several quiet spots to have a picnic which I regret we did not do (next time!) Loved the free-roaming turkeys as well. You gotta go - grab lunch and a blanket beforehand.

Beautiful and peacful place. Opportunities to take lots of different photos.

Beautiful garden with shrubs shaped like animals. Great place to stop for some beautiful views, photo spots and to admire the amazing shapes carved out. The whole area is picturesque. The house at this place is open for tours. You can will find a lot of flowers in bloom which are sure to brighten up your day. Would definitely recommend this place.

A little pricey for what is actually offered but absolutely gorgeous.

Good but small. Still worth a pit stop if you have the right pass/ admission. Want to make it special? Bring a picnic or covert bottle of wine as the great lawn is GORG around sunset.

This is one of my favorite places to see when I visit Rhode Island. The gardens are meticulously maintained, the variety of plants and flowers is incredible, and the most magnificent Copper Beech I’ve ever seen is on the property. While I haven’t toured the house on site, the gardens are where it’s at for me. Highly recommend!

Absolutely magical ... I recommend sitting on the back porch after you walk around.

So relaxing, especially at 4pm. The sun reflecting off Narragansett Bay and lighting up the fall trees.

While touring this enchanting house and gardens, one feels the love a father had for his children. I am so grateful we selected this sight as one of our visits on the Newport Mansions’ Tour. The staff was very welcoming and informative.

This place was so darling and serene, with clever little topiaries. The best part was watching the children interacting with nature!

Well maintained garden for a short visit. it is actually not as big as we imagined though.

I would definitely recommend! If you have plans to visit the mansions this garden stands out to be a complete different flavor! I would suggest to keep it in second day of the itinerary so that you get a change of taste. Also inside the house there is remarkable collection of dolls and doll house and old age toys. Some of my pics here shows inside the doll house which you wont believe unless you see them in person!

Never been to this place that evokes tranquility. Quiet place to just sit down and enjoy the beauty of unique garden.

I have never seems something like this before.. I LOVE IT! It was hard to leave this place .. it so beautiful.. and peaceful.. please visit and get your camera ready! =)

Well maintained, good for a short visit.

Small garden of some really cool artwork. Enjoyed it. Took about 20min to get through

The tour of the house takes about 15 minutes and the garden takes about 20 minutes. The ticket office sells water and cold drinks. Interesting to see the giraffe, bear and other animals as topiary. Well worth visiting.

Amazing gardens and trees. The topiaries are extremely well.done and considering the age of the plants, surprised that it is still all.there. Nice, well manicured grounds, interesting plantings. Did the house tour too but was disappointed that you only see the first floor. Tour guides were very pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable. Even my two boys (20 & 17) found it interesting. Loved the Copper Beech tree!

We loved it here!! Historic and fun for sure! Great to see plants that look like stuff, and then to see an old house kept in its original state. Truly a different and great place.

Great tour off the typical Newport path. Would recommend going mid to late summer to see the gardens at their best.

Green Animals is the place to be! Perfect day too. Try to time your day to tour the main house. Tours are 3x daily. Wonderful topiaries, lovely succulent plants, tomatoes, quaint gift shop. Walk along the water and enjoy the sprawling grounds. Perfect day for all ages.

This place was so cool! So many topiaries to see and take pics of, plus some other scenic photo opps as well. Definitely walk by the house and down to the water too!

Great time to spend outdoors especially for locals!

Beautiful place to spend an afternoon. Bring the family (kids too) and a lunch or snacks and have the bay as your backdrop.

Nice stroll, and views. Much more greenery and flowering in season. Pretty area.

This was an okay experience for me. The ticket were $20 but I personally felt that they should be free becuase the park was state owned. The park wasnt that big at only, they used the greenery to create sculptures of animals which is why the park has all the buzz. The house in the park was owned by the family who started the park before it was donated to the state. My wife seemed to have liked it but I didnt. Anyway you make like it as well.

Beautiful gardens and kid friendly. The ticket includes 2 additional grounds in Newport, RI

Great picnic place

Hours are NOT correct!!!! They close at 5:30pm. Per the lady yelling across the field at people in the parking lot.

What a beautiful hid gem in Portsmouth, RI., small but wonderfully maintained topiary garden!

It is a small walk but one to remember.

Beautiful grounds filled with amazing flowers and garden sculptures a Hidden Gem definitely want to go again in the spring

Beautiful place. Great garden and historic house to deserve being visited.

Unique, lovely gardens, close by but never crowded.

Great way to spend a relaxing afternoon...

Small garden, nice view from end of property.

It was beautiful.

Interesting but not worth the trip of youre not in the area. The veggie garden was the highlight! $17 donation. Really? Maybe on the summer???

Beautiful place. Smaller than I expected but still worth a visit.

Pretty cool place, amazing how they keep up the gardens

Great place to visit...

Beautiful place for all family

Small but well maintained gardens and home. Great place to relax on the porch in a rocking chair to enjoy beautiful views of the water. Youll find a Gigantic tree is a great picture spot.

Nice. Thats it. Not spectacular.

Nice place if you are in the area

Enjoyed walking around the gardens

Great place to bring the family

Come for the green animals, stay for the beautiful flower garden!

Some really nice art

This is located away from all the Newport Mansions and is part of Mansions maintained by Preservation Society of Newport. It had lot of topiaries in the shape of various animals. There is a house as well to check for.

In my opinion, it is worth watching this garden just if you are around. It is pretty but not a lot.

Though probably not to the fault of the workers (theyve had some bad weather), you can tell this place used to be a lot more majestic than it currently is. There are some neat topiaries, but also a good amount you have to imagine because of the damage. The staff are all extremely friendly, and we had a good time walking through the grounds. Good place to spend about half an hour.

Quaint little place, lovely grounds and a nice view

This place is pretty cool and is part of the Newport Preservation Society Mansions. However keep in mind, this is nowhere near Bellevue Ave and the rest of the Newport Mansions and is about 30 minutes outside Newport on a long winding desolate road in Portsmouth. The house that sits on the property is not the main focal point of this tour since its pretty much an ordinary large farmhouse. The grounds it sits on are massive and overlook an bay inlet on top of a hill. The gardens in this place are unreal and contain not only topiary shaped figures but there are tons of plants, flowers and even a vegetable and fruit garden. The place is manicured to perfection and well taken care of. This is a decent place out of any of the mansions to take kids, however be prepared for the hike out of town to visit this place, about 15-20 miles away from downtown Newport.

Stay away - bad experience.

Great place to take children.

This garden has history behind the scenes. The gardens are beautiful. The. Topiary green animals are created and taken care of. The people put love into their labor. The preservation society do a great job.

Fun place to visit

Beautiful! By the water! Beautiful flowers!! Saw a lot of butterflies and got amazing pictures!!

Fun topiary figures, flower garden, historic house and vegetable garden. Great place for families with kids.

Awesome gardens

Adorable and beautiful - good for whole family

A wonderful experience! I enjoyed seeing all the beautifully sculptured hedges and the lovely Gardens. An impressive 150 year old oak tree stands out front of the topiary. I look forward to returning here.

This is a nice area to bring your kids. Its nice and quiet.

While not as grand as the other Newport mansions I would say this is the most relaxing of them. The other mansions dont have gardens nearly as nice as these. You also dont have to deal with Newport traffic which is nice since its outside of town in a more rural, peaceful setting. It was nice just to walk around and roam the grounds. The mansion was nice too and it wasnt so huge as to be overwhelming. I highly recommend coming here! The staff was REALLY nice and I had great conversations with them

It is very impressive. We were here a number of years again, and It is just as impressive as it was then.

The flowers were nice but the topiaries were not well maintained... for $16 to visit a small garden I would think they would be trimming the topiaries more often. Some you couldnt really tell what they were. Pretty disappointed in the price for what we got.

Great gardens...thoughtbit was a tad pricey.. But still worth it

Awesome area to see cool designs and flowers/plants. Super friendly staff

Summer was harsh to the plants. Bit its a great place to relax abd enjoy creativity

Lovely grounds and the staff is so kind and accommodating! Free admission for locals too! Dont miss the surprisingly beautiful vegetable garden! Such a neat time capsule all together!

Lovely gardens and historic home to tour. I was a bit disappointed in the Topiary.

Beautiful plants, flowers, and vegetables T their annual plant sale at very reasonable prices! The grounds and gardens are top shelf as well!

Beautiful gardens with fantastic topiary. It was a nice find. Lovely gift shop, too!

Visit if youre a fan of beautiful plants and gardens. Its not huge, but there is a large variety and number of plants and nice animal shaped bushes. The various plants have nametags so you know their name. Check it out along with exploring the inside of the old house.

Always enjoy a trip to Green Animals Topiary Gardens! Beautiful location and wonderful gardens to tour.

Beautiful gardens of flowers, vegetables, topiaries, and wide lawns to walk or rest. Also has a few picnic benches, historical buildings with one main house. Become a member and you can come as often as you like in Spring, Summer and Fall.

Great plant sale.Healthy plants and helpful staff and volunteers.Great variety selection, veggies, herbs, annuals and more.Gardens are off to a great start. Very sure to stop by this wonderful garden to see its topiaries, veggies, dahlias, bamboo, hops, figs and so much more.

Fun in the sun spot. Interesting walk around.

Really cool place to check out. Get the pass and come see the gardens. We really enjoyed it.

Its smaller than I thought but its beautiful

Nice

Pretty disappointed with the price and the fact that none of the hedges were trimmed. It looked pretty rough. $16 for something not well maintained.

Fun place to walk around.

I take visiting friends there. Always an enjoyment to see the gardens and arboury work.

Great place!! The green animals are fantastic!! The staff is friendly and helpful. They picnic tables so you can bring your lunch.

Great place very pretty

Very nice veggie and fruit garden. The topiary are a little sad. The house is nice though it doesnt have much on the history of the family. Good place for kids.

Nice hidden gem.

Perfect place to take some adorable photos! Especially when all the flowes are in bloom.

Ok. Not everything in bloom when we visited. The dollhouse and toys on second floor in the house was pretty amazing. Go in late May for more photo ops

One of the less known Newport mansions - I think this place is great! Beautiful to walk around. Pack a lunch and spend the afternoon on their beautiful grounds.

Not overly impressed. I was here 15 years ago and the gardens were superb. Not enough lights on in the house so it was hard to see the dollhouses. The miniatures and dioramas that were in lighted cases couldnt be appreciated because the lights in the cases were not turned on and the main lights in the room were off. Very disappointed on this trip.

Beautiful place. Flowers and other plantings are great. Love all the Topiary animals! The house overlooking Narragansett Bay is stunning!

The gardens are great. I enjoyed the topiaries. The garden is very well kept.

Love this magical garden, gift shop and staff!

Interesting if you like all different kinds of plants including vegetable in one place. Cleverly crafted bushes are a sight also. Go in late spring, early summer.

Nice little topiary garden in Portsmouth, RI. It looked beautiful in May when we visited it. Exhibit of old toys and other artifacts in the house is very nice too. You can visit it for free if you are a member of Newport Mansions Preservation Society.
