  • This was my second visit to these lovely gardens within four years. I brought my family for this recent excursion. First, we brought my 7 y/o daughter for their sponsored pumpkin ride and picking, which was a bit of a let down. The ride was advertised as a hay ride, but there was no hay to be seen. It was a bit too long, and the pumpkin patch consisted of pre picked pumpkins naturally from a cooler state! Coming from New Jersey, pumpkin hay rides locally are much cooler, but what can you do, this was the best AZ's harsh arid climate has to offer. The local kids were havign a blast, and I understand why. My daughter thought it was dumb to be honest, as did we, but we all managed to have a bit of fun with it. Onto the actual B.G.s. They were terrific, albeit hot as Hades. It was in the mid '80s the day we were there, and it felt like triple digits to us Yankees lol. My lips were chapped as all hell after a few hours walking about, it blew my mind. The ground heats up in excess of 10 to 20 degrees in excess of the air temperature on any given day at the gardens. Bare that in mind when visiting. The admission price was reasonable. There is terrain consisting of novice to moderate grades of walking. Other areas are paved and consist of very mild walks, leisure and enjoyable. The latest glass cactus additions were marvelous. Coming from outside the Southwestern USA, it is a must see experience, to walk amongst the natural beauty that consists of the deserts of Arizona. There is plenty of free parking. Since my first and last visit there in 2009, the park has added an upscale gift shop and restaurant. I kid you not, the restaurant was five stars in itself! Offering cooked per order, organic dishes and drinks. It was so refreshing and tasty after hours in the blazing hot sun. A bit pricey but well worth it, my family and I concluded. Prompt and curtious service included. The gift shop is a bit of a tourist trap today, offering an array of tacky to note worthy items, all at tourist based prices! Try the homemade lemonade, AMAZING!!!!! Made with hers grown right from the premises. If time permits on your travels to Phoenix, this is a worthy addition to your sight seeing adventures. Enjoy and wear lots of sun screen protection!! Dress accordingly!
