Not sure how anyone can rate this venue as less than 5 stars. It is free, beautiful with many photo ops, you can have your wedding here for $1k (not that im engaged or even have a bf but just sayin lol), is open year round with a change in shrubbery and florals (i didnt get to see the animal shrubs as they create those in the fall). There is also an option for $2 indoor conservatory/greenhouse, and thats free until noon. There is also a gift shop which is kind of pricey. The staff were also very friendly and knowledgeable. One even suggested a tram ride which was about a 15 minute ride around the garden (also free).
